The first time I saw an upside down Christmas tree I feel in love with the idea and concept. Last year, I debated for a long time but finally decided to get one and this tree is awesome and did not disappoint. I used it to display the most unique ornaments because when they hang away from the tree allowing you to see them better. I put it on a small platform so that it was a bit taller. Like all artificial trees, you have to fluff it properly for it to really look nice. You can fill any "holes" with ornaments. It really lit up the room and I was sad when I had to take it down last year. I loved it so much, it will probably be the first thing I put up this year!
