The tree stands about 5 1/2 feet from bottom of basket to top.  There is no doubt the quality of the trunk, etc.  The leaves start a little higher up than pictured however, I am very pleased with it.  I am going to give it a four out of five only because I may need to weigh down the basket.  I notice my dog walked by it and it fell over.  It scared her to death.  LOL!  I am worried when I'm not home it will fall and set off my motion sensor alarms in my house.  Overall, I loved dealing with Wayfair and feel they sold me a well described, nice product.
