Reminds me a bit of the trees my parents gave us as kids to keep in our rooms - not exactly realistic up close, but it will do. The slim profile works well in tight spaces. We got this to maintain a festive look in our cabin over the holidays without using too much floor space as our tree at home does. This absolutely does the trick - I could wrap my arms around it if I wanted to. The LED lights are not too white but have a warm glow. It's also easy to assemble.
