We purchased the 6.5 ft. tree. From a distance it can pass for a real tree, which is nice for an artificial tree. We are disappointed in the lights unfortunately. One reason is there are several dark areas of the tree (hard to imagine there are 450 lights on this tree)and two, these can not be replaced if they burn out. The branches are very light and will not hold any ornaments that have any weight to them, but not a problem if you don’t have any heavy ornaments.
