My apartment living room is not very wide so a regular size tree was not going to work so I ordered this, as I refer to it slim jim tree, and it's perfect.  Once I got it assembled it appeared to be a bit "see-through" but as I started decorating it all came together perfectly.  As much as I love a lot of lights on my tree I did not add any and in the end that was a good call. It's beautiful as is.
