I absolutely love the tree. I spray painted it with a coat of white paint for a snowy look, I also sprayed it with gold glitter paint for extra sparkle. In the end everybody who came complimented it, they all wanted to know where it came from due to its unique shape. The taller trunk on it really worked to keep the dog away and less interested even when he was near to it. Finally, I live in a small apartment and was worried about storing a 5ft tree; it’s easy to store, splits in 3 & folds up nicely. It’s stowed away under the bed until next Christmas now. Great buy. Can’t wait for next Christmas
