I purchased this Palm Tree to use as our Christmas tree this year. We live in Florida and I can put the tree in front of the slider out to the lanai or on the lanai itself. It is of very good quality, was easy to set up and was perfect to use with lights and ornaments. There were a few reviews I've seen that complained that the tree was not tall enough or stable enough. Very easy fixes! I put the tree on top of a sturdy bucket (turned upside down) in a large basket (about twice the size of the basket the tree comes with) and then stuffed old towels around the bucket to fill in the gaps and hold it securely. I then put small cloths on top to hold decorative garden rocks in place and completely covered the cloths with the rocks. Finally, I added a few different colored crystal rocks (sold in bags at almost all craft stores or dollar stores) among the stones. This tree is now the perfect height and my two large dogs couldn't even knock it over! Everyone who sees this tree loves it and after Christmas, I'll just take the ornaments off and use it as a decorative piece in our Great Room.
