I have this same tree in a larger 24 inch size, as well as this 18 inch variety. Overall, I like the look of the tree, as it is not really full and rather wispy. It reminds me of a step above a feather tree in looks, though of course, this one has the attached pine cones. However, comparing the larger size tree with this smaller one, the larger tree is much nicer. It was fuller, for some reason, and the branches were spaced apart much better than in the smaller one. Because of the spacing on the smaller tree, it was much harder to obscure the trunk of the tree, which made the tree almost too wispy for my tastes. Both are vey sturdy on their bases, so they would certainly not tip over on their own.
