Right after I ordered this tree, I found another tree at a store local to me.  It is the same height and dimension as this one.  The one from the local store changes from multi-color to white so I decided to go with that one.  I did pay $135 more than this tree from Wayfair.  The tree from Wayfair arrived.  I did not open the box since I am returning it.  However, I noticed that the Christmas tree from the local store has a larger box which makes me think it may be thicker.  Wayfair worked with me on making the return easy.
