I really like this tree.  It's a great "look," a fake tree, but not obviously so.  I put 100 lights on it, and that helps to give it ambiance.  I put it in my finished basement to give the area some warmth and it does just that.  It needs a bigger basket to anchor it because the naked trunk is too long; the leaves don't appear until 1/2 way up the trunk, so a bigger basket will help.  Am happy with the product.
