This was my first purchase for a Christmas tree online.  I needed something skinny but presentable for my home.  I guess I didn't have a good visual of what a 6 1/2 ft. thin tree would look like.  My family cracked up when I finally put it together because of how small it looked.  I ended up giving it to my mom to use this past Christmas since she is limited physically to do much holiday decorating.  It worked great for her since it was light weight and didn't require too much decorating.  The lights were not enough or bright enough so I had to add an extra strand to it which you see in the picture.  It was easy to put together.    I ended up going somewhere to view trees in person and purchased it that way.  I guess I just cannot visually see a product based on seeing dimensions.
