Here is the skinny.  I purchased this tree as we have a small home and space is at a premium.  The ceiling is vaulted so tall and thin is the requirement in our home. This tree meets the bill nice branches and geat lights.  4 stars because the base is week and flimsey so much so that my husband had to drive a bolt through it to stabilize. Also we ordered multi colored and it came In all white. I added colored lights.
