I ordered this Christmas tree as 6 1/2 ft tall. I put it up today. I should have ordered 
7 ft tree - my fault, not yours! Because it is too close to Christmas, I can't very easily return it. I set it on a box about a foot tall to make up the size deficiency. I just hope it doesn't get knocked over. Also, now I need to go buy a bigger tree skirt so that it will cover the box I sat it on. It was pretty awkward to put together and the the parts were mismarked (C, B, and C!!). Sorry to say but I'm quite disappointed...it looked much fuller in the picture.
