Absolutely!

The tree is right at 10 feet tall. We moved into a new house in June, and it has this great room with ceilings that range from 15 to 20 feet high. I wanted to make sure I got a tree big enough to make good use of the space. Of course, it took a step ladder to get the top decorations and angel on

I figure there are about 1000 lights or so on it.

Thanks!

The tree looks almost like a synthetic one because the shape is so perfect!

You are absolutely correct...we were very surprised. This was honestly the best in the field. Were were somewhat disappointed at first - most of the canaan firs were tall, skinny, and sparse! We wandered a bit, figuring we would have to find another place. Suddenly, this one was right in front of us. Pretty much sitting there all by its lonesome. Don't know why someone else didn't grab it. We were lucky! We'll take it!
