Good tree but, lost the Christmas

The tree is OK, its the actual execution of the Christmas theme that's left me scratching my head. I would say it's more of a valentines tree as far as color schemes and ornaments go. Candles and red hearts. We eneded up redecorating it
We enjoyed putting this set together. We made the 2 trees and they fit nicely into my tree collection. Using leftover food bins, we separated each type of brick. Made finding things a snap. Had to make up the last tree top base from other parts as we were missing 2 2x2 bricks. Ordering another set so we can make a third tree!
I would recommend this to a friend!

We want this festive Christmas Tree to be perfect in your collection! You'll find free replacement pieces available at LEGO.build/BricksPieces-BV.
I read reviews about the bags not being numbered like other sets have. Didn’t think that would be an issue, however having so many opened bags became irritating soon. I got all the way to step 129 for the large tree when I noticed I am missing blocks needed to finish the build. Very disappointed. Guess I will take it apart and make the small tree instead. This tree was a great idea in theory, but does not seem to be the same caliber as other LEGO builds.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Let's fix this, so you can build your LEGO® Christmas Tree the way you wish. Missing bricks are never fun. Head straight to LEGO.build/BricksPieces-BV where you can get the replacement parts you need for free.
I just recently moved and knew I wouldn't have a tree this year so I decided to get a Lego one! I built the two smaller trees over the one massive one. It looks nice and sits well but the overall building experience wasn't great. This build was incredibly repetitive, which I supposed I could have guessed. I could not wait to finish building it. I'm happy I have it and would probably recommend it to a friend but can say this is my least favorite set I've built.
This was the first set I found that did not have numbered bags. This bothered me at first because I like to build a few bags a day but don't necessarily have time to finish a build all at once. It was fun to build. I chose to build the two small and medium trees rather than the one large tree. I had left over bricks so I wish I could have built a third tree.
We liked this set but it was missing a piece (4 top green) for the tall tree build. We haven’t tried the shorter trees yet. Also, it would be more fun if there were enough colored balls etc to choose how to decorate the tree.
I would recommend this to a friend!

That's no good, you can't hang the star until you're all finished decorating! Don't worry, visit LEGO.build/BricksPieces-BV to pick out those pieces and we'll send them on the next sleighride headed your way!
This was a fun build. Like some, I thought a cylinder was missing. I thought I accidentally tossed it with the bags. It was loose in the box, which was strange. Not sure if it got stuck in a booklet and fell out or what, but check your bags and box very carefully. It’s a black cylinder, so it can get overlooked easily. Phew!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thanks for the advice. We're happy you had everything needed to build the set and had fun building it.
