    This happened to my parents last year. They got tired of bugs crawling out of the live Christmas trees they got every year, so they got an artificial one. Didn't fit together correctly, they ask for a refund, company says "whatever, keep it." This motivates my dad to take a saw to it, and they now have a very wobbly but functional tree

      My parents did exactly this same thing. Lights didn't work on the first tree, Amazon said keep it and sent another. My dad fiddled around and got the lights working and now uses the second tree for spare parts.
