This thing is so roomy. I could have easily gotten the smaller one and still fit my 6' tree but now I can buy some extra stuff like garland next year and I'll know I'll be able to store it so that's cool! I also like that it has inner pockets for stuff like extra bulbs,hooks or maybe like some plastic candy canes or if your tree has a remote or something. I didn't use the pockets this year but now that I know I have more storage I'm probably gonna go all out next year.
