The trunk of this tree is wood all the way up - it's a stained log essentially and makes the tree feel more 'tree like' than the trees with the metal pole for a trunk.  The tree fits on the corner landing of my stair case, so the size is very versatile.  The branches take a while to arrange, but once they are done they are lovely and strong, so hanging ornaments is easy.  The bottom stand is flat and square, so it doesn't really take any space and the tree itself is very sturdy -not tippy at all. I like this tree so much, I might keep it up all year long!  

Pros: Great size, great price, nice look. 
Cons: Branches are time consuming to arrange.
