Love this tree! Here it is with lights and our ornaments. We have a small apartment so we needed something that would fit our space. The box it comes in is very small and had me worried at first. I will say the tree is really like five and half feet tall with one branch that sticks up the extra 6inches to make it 6 feet. We just folded it down because I think it looks better that way. As long as you give the branches a good fluff it fills in really nicely and looks full. It shed a bit but nothing major and it was just during the fluffing, it hasn’t shed since. It is also super light which was nice for finding our perfect location but doesn’t feel like it’s going to rip over or anything.
