Bought this on whim for my basement apartment, and ended up using it in my own living room!  I am a live tree person, so this was a big step.  It assembled easily and looked so much better than I had expected!  I wouldn't lie to you, I missed the evergreen fragrance wafting through the room, but it was the most convenient Christmas tree I have ever had!  Since it held up well during display and disassembly, I'll pull it out again next year for one apartment of another.
