This is a dandy little tree at 5 feet. The base is 6 1/2 inches tall and the tree ( minus the base) is 5 ft. The tree is very full and there are no "holes if you position the branches.The base is a  rich tasteful gold. The lights on the tree are warm in colour. I did not find that the lights moved quickly as has been reported. I've had 2 other fibre optic trees and find the movement of the lights to be appropriate. As reported, the tree is beautiful without decorations. I used ornaments and found the branches held them well as long as they were not overly heavy. There was only one very large heavy Xmas ornament that I couldn't use. With all fiberoptic trees, the lights look best in a dimmer light such as night time. But that's when  fibre optic trees outshine any tree. I can't imagine anyone being disappointed with this  sturdy, beautiful midsized tree.
