The tree will need to be assembled, which is very easy to do. It will also be arriving in a small-ish box as they compact down very tightly. Rare, extra large vintage tinsel Christmas tree in a warm, sparkly gold! The tree is from New Zealand and is possibly from the N. Condition: Overall good vintage condition. I believe one branch at the bottom is missing. Some of the branches may be snug or slightly loose in the wooden holes, but they all fit! Branches can me molded into the positions desired. Some may be slightly crooked, but can be bent back if needed. Tinsel bits to be expected at the bottom of the box. Tree trunk may lean slightly at first, but the center poles can be rotated until it balances. The wooden poles fit together, but you have to twist the metal dowels in as its a snug fit. Please note this is vintage tinsel, not aluminum metal (the stand is aluminum).
