I was a bit leery to buy this tree sight unseen online - I purchased the 12 footer, but I am very glad I did. I was waffling between 9 ft/10 ft/ and 12 ft, and with the slim profile of this tree, it fits perfectly in our living room with vaulted ceiling. The room is not large but the tree doesn't overpower. I was able to get this up with a little help from my husband and a 6ft ladder. The lights are small, warm, and there are so many! It looks good unlit and undecorated, too. The tips are very realistic looking, and the tree is very full. I like that it has a remote and different light cycles. We have not anchored this tree to the wall and I don't know if we will. We have a toddler but I haven't feared it will fall on him, it's surprisingly stable.
