We bought it this year to scale down from our artificial 7 ft tree.  It fits nicely on an end table next to our sofa in the family room.  The branches look pretty real . . .spent some time arranging the branches after being in the box.  Also, put an extra string of 100 lights on the tree.  We are very happy with it (and the reviews I read were good).  Also,  the base is very sturdy and it looks good alone or you can decorate around it.
