looks like a Christmas tornado.

It's $600 and SOLD OUT! They are even advertising these in the SkyMall catalog. Sheesh.

Don't know if it's where they got the idea but The Tate modern did this years ago with a huge tree, it was apparently Art so that may explain the price.

I saw one in a restaurant in the Rochester, N.Y., area (I think it must have been in LeRoy) in c. 1996. Complete with model train circling around the base---that was the cool part.

Not that it's not a fad now.

Delayed memory: it was indeed in LeRoy, at the D&R Depot Restaurant.

The hard part is getting the ornaments to dangle upward.
