We needed a little tree in the corner because we are hosting a "Christmas Eve Eve" celebration this year. Pros: Pretty good looking, esp. after decorating. ;-) Relatively easy to assemble. Cons: Wobbly stand. I ended up literally taping it to a stool to get it to stand upright. (I do hope the tape comes off without ruining the stool in two months!) At some point we will invest in a better tree, but for the price, this tree meets our needs for this year. It's cute!
