The tree above is our second prelit of the year. The first one was a bit to big for the basement. The wife insisted the tree had to be in the basement this year. The tree she first got was 7' tall and 50" at the base. Our basement celing is exactly 7' and a 50" base would have took a very large part of the space she first wanted the tree at. I told her she could ether keep that tree and put it upstairs in the corner, we have 8' celings upstairs, or get a smaller tree. This one is something like 6' tall and 30" at the base.
