Review on 🎄 Alpine CEY224MC Multifunctional Spiral Christmas Tree in Multicolor by Alpine Corporation by Candace Ortiz

I love how this tree looks when it's lit - it's beautiful! However, I did encounter a few disappointing quality-related issues, some of which were mentioned by other reviewers: 1. The outer bars were missing from the packaging. Since the wood is only used indoors, having Alpine Corporation supply them wasn't worth the hassle.2. A few small rust spots on the stand were relatively easy to remove. The plastic bag the cabin was shipped in contained LOTS of rust colored dust and most likely rust.3. The screw that attaches the tree to the stand is totally inadequate to keep it upright. Wrapping the pole with wire helped attach it more securely to the stand.4. One of the lights at the top of the tree is not lit (but no one will see it). Because the lantern is encased in a plastic tube, it cannot be replaced.5. The holes in the top of the tree were too small for the pole to go through. The holes were widened by sawing the edges down. Overall I am pleased with the beauty of this tree but would give it a much higher rating if the manufacturer did a better job with production and quality control. Even at half the price ($130), I believe these issues shouldn't be.
