The tree is great, exactly as shown, but if you want it in a rotating base (which I already had), note that this tree is 2" in diameter, and thus will require a special stand.   Order the stand when you buy the tree, they sold out before I could go back and get one.  The stand that comes with the tree is just a very basic stand, and I don't think it's as wide as it should be for stability.  The tree is very full, and will hold ornaments all the way out to the ends of the branches.  I bought this to replace a 9' tree which had become too small to hold all my ornaments, and the 10' tree just barely holds everything, but with a glass top sticking up another 8", it's almost too tall, it just misses the ceiling.  Overall, it's a great buy, I'm very happy.
