Review on 🎄 Puleo International 4.5ft Pre-Lit Potted Flocked Arctic Fir Christmas Tree- 70 Clear Lights by Jessica Frederick

Beautiful tree with terrible stand. It was very easy to assemble and reminds me of a small Charlie Brown tree but fuller. It was perfect for my daughter's room. However NOT worth the $115 I paid for it when the stand arrived broken. The tree tilted as it was inserted into the stand, then I realized this was because the hole was deformed and the mechanism that was supposed to hold the tree in was broken. This is because the stand is a ceramic material that can easily break. I spent HOURS trying to find a replacement stand that actually fits a roughly 3/4 inch pole, but couldn't find anything online long enough to enjoy the tree for Christmas. In the end my husband decided to build me a makeshift stand in the garage which worked great as you can see in the photo but was it all worth it? Probably no. Too much hassle for a very expensive tree that is now about 4ft versus 4 1/2ft as the stand it came with lost height. I'm attaching a photo so you can see for yourself. I've already fluffed it up so decided to add some ornament and take a picture, but haven't decided whether I'll box it up tomorrow and send it back to the manufacturer for a refund.
