Fast delivery. 5 days early! At first I thought how can a 6ft tree fit in such a small box. But it did and it fluffed out nicely. The 6 feet is measured to the top of the single branch that is probably 8+ inches. If you fold it down to put a topper on, then the tree is more like 5+ft. Still, for a small space it is very nice. I used 100ct lights and that was plenty.
