Love the color!  But like another review said, it does shed. From afar looks good, but cheap up close. It also was a lot shorter than planned. Yes, usually trees count the stand and the top tip, but the top tip seems really long!  Tree without stand and top tip is about 4.75 feet. I am still happy with it (good price and such a fun color), but just a heads up that you may want the 7.5 foot tree.
