We purchased this tree for my 6 year old, and it she is pleased with it, so that is most important. BUT, if you are buying this tree, thinking that it will look like the photo, it didn't. It is much more sparse (even filling it with a ton of ornaments) and the branches are flimsy. Some of her ornaments weighed the branches down and they weren't even that heavy. So yes, I would recommend it as a fun tree for a six year old, just don't have an expectation that it will look like the photo....
