I think this tree is going to work out perfectly for our home. We live in an older home, the rooms tend to be smaller in size and we need a tree that won't take up the entire room. By no means does this tree look awkward though, due to the slimness. when the tree arrived we assembled it so we could make sure it was not defective in anyway: The lights worked, we pulled apart some of the branches and it seems to be full. While it is not the most real realistic feeling tree, The aesthetics are not a disappointment. I am so far satisfied with the purchase and I would recommend to a friend.
