I had a smaller one before to compare it to that I used as an extra decoration so I had something to compare it to. This bigger tree came with one of its ornaments with a piece broken out of it and one broken off. It seemed dusty! The insides of the ornaments that covered the dedicated-color limbs fiber-optic ends were cloudy appearing compared to the old one I had. That old one's globes were pristine and shiny even after a few years. I just never could accept that it looked old or the result of poor Q.C. Finally, I just wrote them via Amazon and they are going to pick it up, refund me.

Now I have to either get the big tree in several pieces where it is packed away out in the garage, hose those storage containers down to get the dust off, drag them in the house one by one, get out all its zillions of candy ornaments and finally, when it is all in this house, get it up and drag/stack the big plastic containers back in the garage. It's a half a day of h e _ _ !!! I'd rather just buy a pink or red or white pre-lit tree this year I think and add some bows - anything quick and easy on the hip replacement. Danny is in Oklahoma working for 6 weeks so he can't help and my ex is working 24/7 so he's no help. I'm so bummed that my hoped-for, pretty, pretty tree that could have been so lovely turned out to be sloppily made or poorly stored or something. Now, I start all over with the tree.
