This is the perfect tree for a small space. The branches are sturdy and can hold many ornaments (see photos). This tree would look good with or without decoration. The only drawback I had was stability because the base is small. Once I had all the ornaments on the tree, it was a bit wobbly. We solved that problem with a weight that is made for pop-up tent legs so you can have a tent on a solid surface. The weight fit perfectly around the tree pole on top of the base. Problem solved!
