12/02/24 response to 208 owner: We purchased the tree this last summer. It was packed in the original box (easily stored vs. ripping open), and we didn't open it, as we trusted the description from the 208 Outlet... Shame on us for blindly accepting the 208s description!

Read moreWe bought a $75.00 mystery box and got totally ripped off. There is no way the contents of this box are even worth the $75.00 we paid. It was diet coke, wooden kids puzzles, slime, paper plates, and a cloth patio cover. We will never do this again. There was a rocking chair that we would have bought if it weren't damaged. Buyer beware...
