Some people like a fat and full tree, but not me.  I like the ornaments to hang down and dangle.  The tree is a good size for me and it was quite simple to put up and decorate.  My only complaint is that I had to figure out a way to attach the topper since the branches go right up to the top and there wasn't a place that worked.  I improvised and used my imagination.  All the lights worked and the base is substantial enough that my cats are not likely to tip the tree over!
