This tree was NOT 6 1/2 feet.  Unless maybe you count the stand.   VERY disappointed with the set up.  The 3 pieces all have their own string of lights and when attaching them, there is no neat way to hide the wires!  It’s horrible!     VERY DISAPPOiNTED in purchase.   Due to timing, I had a choice to return, after OVER two hours of assembling, or keeping.   VERY DISAPPOINTED.
