I never expect too much when ordering a made-in-China product, but the quality and overall appearance of this piece (as of right now--brand new) seems to be great! I was impressed by how big the tree is as well as how nice it looks. I would  definitely recommend this!

One last note--the 'tree' was packaged REALLY well, ensuring nothing was broken, bent, or even scratched. I appreciate the attention to detail when sending a rather delicate and ornate piece.
