National Tree Company Pre-Lit Artificial Full Christmas Tree, Green, Dunhill Fir, White Lights, Includes Stand, 7.5 Feet

Main Point: it really is a beautiful tree and worth the money if you can get it for $250 or under, but previous versions of the tree were better.I previously purchased this tree in 2017. After using it for several years (often plugged in 24hrs day), the lights started to go (which is to be expected). I loved that tree and received SO many compliments on it, so naturally I purchased it again. However, this new tree, while still beautiful, is not the same as the old version. The old one looked very real and would actually give me scratches while putting it up. I tolerated it because the tree was worth it. When I unboxed this current one, I was immediately disappointed that the material looks like any other obviously fake tree. If you're looking to replace a previous version of this tree, you'll be disappointed. If this is the first time you've considered purchasing it, you will like be very pleased.

I've needed a new tree for the past few years and finally settled on this one due to its consistent reviews and the price.PROS:- Price- I liked how there were branches low on the "trunk" as it made it more realistic- The "needles" didn't fall off during assembly like some other artificial trees I've had in the past- Delivered quick and box was still nicely intactCONS:- Took me over 3 hours to fluff out the tree and although it was pretty nice, it wasn't as full as the photos and still had some gaps.- It's been over a week since I assembled it and my fingers are still a bit raw/chaffed from fluffing the branches. Maybe wear gloves?- Could use more lightsAll in all, it's a pretty nice 7.5 foot tree for the $260. But that was the "sale" price and I don't think it's worth the $440 at regular price.

Rather than buy another live tree we decided to invest in an artificial one. Definitely pleased with the overall look although at certain angles, it appears a little thin. Very easy to put together though but does take some time to “fluff.” Would recommend wearing gloves to fluff the limbs or you’ll feel it in your fingers. Also, given real tree prices, it will only take one more year to return the investment.

This tree is extremely easy to set up (it comes in three pieces). The branches come compacted so you will need to spread them out. In this picture I’d only spent 11 minutes “fluffing” the branches. It needs a few more minutes but I got interrupted. Tree also comes pre-lit, and the number of lights are just right. I recommend this tree to everyone who is looking for an artificial tree to use year after year. I’m looking forward to seeing it with my ornaments. Tree is very easy to pack and unpack. I have read some reviews that said to wear gloves while “fluffing” the tree, but I did not find that to be necessary. The pine needles seem to be less pokey than real pine needles. I wholeheartedly recommend this tree!

Tree is not quite as tall as description. It takes a lot of fluffing, but looks nice after it is fluffed and decorated. It is very easy to assemble including cords.I would not pay full price for this tree. It is worth about two hundred or less.
