Review on Set of 3 Department 56 Village Autumn Maple Trees by Rebecca Carter

Quality Division 56 has gotten worse since I started collecting holiday items. These 3 trees were stuffed into a very narrow box and it took time, patience and a very gentle touch to straighten the branches. Anyway, these trees had 6 inserts in the plastic bags. A few others fell off while I was placing the branches. I've used them as foliage around the trees, but that shouldn't happen. The color is nice, the size fits. But the barrels and bases look very cheap. The barrels look like they're wrapped in duct tape, and the base looks like plasticine. Not at all like other trees I bought many years ago. They have been detailed to look like real guns. You get what you pay for.
