This is a sweet little tree. I tried a larger "faux" tree at one point but I couldn't deal with the artificial look of it. This one is going on a table because I will be traveling and upon my return, there isn't time to make the house festive. This is perfect because it's small and cheery with just the right amount of lights. I will decorate it with smaller scale ornaments. I like the look and quality of it. When the tree arrived I sat down with it and systematically arranged the branches from the base upward. Great purchase!
