I purchased two of these trees for my front porch.  Once the branches were properly adjusted (which took some time) they are very nice looking trees.  The biggest fault I see with these trees is that (due to the size - 7') the bottom stand is really not heavy enough to ensure stability if the wind comes up (which is the reason I gave these trees a 4 star rating instead of 5).  As such, it was necessary to tie the trees to my porch columns to keep them from falling over if it gets windy.  Otherwise, for the price I paid  I am very pleased with them.
