As other reviews have noted, this tree fits nicely in a corner as an accent piece after the holidays, and my tree found a place in the corner of my entry way in our mountain house.  I placed it outside on our covered front porch over Christmas and decorated it with just simple beaded garlands and a few strings of clear lights.  The bottom does need something on it to weigh it down, because a gust of wind will upend it.  Branches were sparse between the top of the trunk and the bottom of the top piece so a bit of work was required to try to fill in the empty space.
