I have a small apartment and a dog so the Alpine style with the bottom branches away from the floor and narrow width is perfect for me. It's very light and easy to assemble. It's surprisingly sturdy despite the tiny base. I've had real trees tip over on me but this one hasn't moved an inch. The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because I was surprised that the tree trunk was a wooden pole the same width all the way up. You kind of stick the narrow top triangle of the tree into the wooden pole. Up close the change from the wooden pole to the tiny top of the tree looks a little abrupt, however, once I got lights and ornaments on the tree I couldn't notice it at all.     

Pros: Narrow, doesn't take up a lot of room, unique look
Cons: Not very realistic when you stand very close to it
