I spent a lot of time comparing trees before purchasing this Christmas tree. The deciding factor was the price. I knew it was smaller than what I was hoping for; however, my other half and I eventually want to be able to have a Christmas tree in more than just the living room so we knew we would get good use out of it. This is a very cute tree. If you take the time to fluff the branches, it is actually pretty full; however, the very tippy top point of the single standing branch is what makes it fit in the 6' category. No worries! It does not take away from the beauty of the tree. It  just gives it more personality! We love our new tree and we got it for a wonderful price, but I was disappointed to find bigger and fuller (and pre-lit) trees on sale for cheaper after I bought this one.
