I love this little tree.  It makes me happy when I light it up at night.  I live in a small apartment, and it's perfect in the corner of my living room.  Don't be worried about what it looks like when you open the box.  Once you take it out and start folding out the branches, it starts looking like the picture shown.  On the random branches between the ones with ornaments already on them, you can hang your own ornaments.  I'm very happy with this purchase.
