This is a nice size tree to fill in a "dead" corner....tall enough that the foliage clears nearby furniture but not so wide and spreading that it interferes with other decorative elements.  I would not mistake it for a real tree but it's generally believable in the context of not being a main focal point.   As stated by others, the base is quite small and, in the case of my tree, it was top-heavy enough that the trunk broke away from the base in shipping.   I repaired it easily with epoxy but it surely looks much more appealing placed inside a larger, more decorative pot.
