The tree was purchased as a Christmas gift because of the pencil style, availability  and color. It is not being used as the family Christmas tree in the family room, it is a corner of a sun room that has a high ceiling and you can see it from the kitchen.  The cost was good because it was on sale, it said orig cost  over $200 which it is not worth that price.   I loved that it was delivered fast, easy to put together, a hard height to find, nice lights, looks beautiful with a large silver star.  The gift receiver which has great taste is so happy and pleased, all of this makes me happy for purchasing.
