Loved this tree! I always wanted a white tree for some reason, this year I decided to finally grab one after Christmas when it was on sale. So glad I did, I ended up putting it up and making a valentines day tree. I can't wait to use it for my actual christmas decorations this year. The base is a little light for the height of the tree. I ended up setting 5 pound weights on each side of the tree base just to make it feel a little sturdier. I especially needed it when I pushed it up against the wall and had to pull more of the branches towards the front, making it a little more top heavy. But it was perfect and make it look even fuller. I did notice that the top half and the bottom half seemed to be two slightly different shades of white, one was a little bluer, but it wasn't really noticeable to others. Bottom line, I loved it, totally thought it was worth the price and would recommend it to anyone.
