Excellent Buy, Quality Build, Great Price
Color: B-Metal Antique Greenish
Solid metal. Tree attaches to the base with a Phillips screw (four way). Sturdy attachment. Metal was intact upon delivery and me foolishly dropping it on the ground as I opened it out of the box. The tree is... how must I put it? Two dimensional I suppose, which you can see from the pictures the branches extend in only opposite directions. So it is not three dimensional in the aspect that the branches go every which way like an actual tree. This is what I had envisioned and I don't want you to make the same mistake. This product is what it says, my imagination ran away from me with the picture and I bought it very quickly. All in all a wonderful piece for the money.

Cute but sharp edges!

Its cute but has tiny sharp edges i cut myself when putting it together. I will buff it down and keep it. But the quality control is definitely lacking.

Great for price
Color: B-Metal Antique Greenish
I don’t have a ton of jewelry but enough to need somewhere to put it. Easy to put together. I don’t know that it’s nice enough to buy as a gift alone but I’m happy with it for myself.
