He's a cute little guy.  The biggest reason why I got it was the real feel branches.  I moved to a small mountain cabin and my 6ft tree from a decade ago no longer fits, but I was not willing to give up the realism that my old tree had.  The branches made from a mold are the BEST to give a tree a realistic look and this little guy is perfect.  The real branches are along the outside, the more "papery" feeling ones fill in the middle.  I was also surprised that this guy is pretty hefty...the weighted bottom helps to keep him in place.
