National Tree Company Pre-Lit Artificial Full Christmas Tree, Green, Dunhill Fir, White Lights, Includes Stand, 9 Feet

National Tree Company Pre-Lit Artificial Full Christmas Tree, Green, Dunhill Fir, White Lights, Includes Stand, 7.5 FeetBeautiful Christmas tree! It truly exceeded our expectations. We were tired of buying a real tree every year and dealing with the mess of falling needles and constant maintenance. We wanted an artificial tree with lights, and this one surpassed everything we hoped for. It’s full, bright, and so easy to set up. Absolutely love it!

Be prepared to buy a ton of ornaments because this thing is humongous. It’s a beautiful tree and super tall and wide. Definitely true to the height and width advertised. We were tired of buying “7ft” trees only for them to actually be about 5. I feel like this is the best deal for what you get. I have no complaints. The set up took a while to separate the branches to fluff it up but I expected that based on other people’s reviews. It took about an hour and a half for my husband and I to set it up and fluff it.

I've had artificial trees my whole life (I'm allergic to pine) and this is definitely the nicest tree I've purchased. Here are my thoughts:The 9 foot tree has 4 sections and it took me about 1.5 hours to put it together and fluff all the branches this first time. I anticipate it will be faster in future years because the few issues I had with light strings preventing certain branches from falling into place have been corrected. Also, when the tree gets put away at the end of the season, I'm never able to compress the branches back to original packaging shape. So, fluffing won't be the same job next year.The branches are very full and it fluffed up nicely as I went along. The photos I added show each layer after fluffing. Be sure to watch the video for the easiest way to do one layer segment at a time. Without tying back the upper layers it would have been a lot more difficult.This is my first season with the tree and all the lights are working. There are two branches that have some fibers hanging - these are the fibers that connect the smaller branches to one another- and this is the type of wear normally associated with an older tree. But it was minor and on the lowest section so not a big deal to me. If there were more branches with hanging fibers I would have asked for a replacement. Other than this small defect, the tree appears to be very sturdy, the branch sections move stiffly/firmly and hold in place well. The lights are well spread out- I didn't see any noticeable dim spots.I took a couple photos with light behind the tree so you can see the general fullness of the branches. Real trees do have places where you can see thru a little and I like that this tree has that also, making it appear more realistic. Once the ornaments and garland are on, any small gaps were even less apparent.One tip- we opted to affix our tree topper to the uppermost section before placing this section on the tree. Even with an appropriate sized ladder, this was helpful because the base of the tree extends out so far.My only negative - the lowest branches are very low. There isn't much room for gifts directly underneath the tree. In the past, with older artificial trees, we've simply removed the bottom rung of branches and this alleviated the issue. With the hinged branches, this is not an option.Overall, I love this tree. It was a good value for a very nice-looking tree that I hope will last for a bunch of years.

I enjoy putting up and decorating trees so to me this tree is gorgeous and full and sure to make a statement in your home… however if you are not ready to fluff every branch and twig of every layer it will not look full. So if you don’t like work… don’t do it! The fluffing alone took me over an hour. But I love this tree and if how it looks in the end is the most important part to you then definitely get it!

Tree is not nearly as “full” as pictured. After two hours of fluffing, there are still lots of open space where the trunk, wire branches, and loose lighting wires peak through. Doesn’t compare to the one I had for 22 years (Barcana). Like they say, they don’t build homes, cars, appliances, etc. like they used to… this is one of those items. Also: this tree smells like strong men’s cologne and burns my eyes.

This was super easy to assemble and took about an hour to spread out all the branches. It looks so full and pretty! The color and texture makes it look so real and the lights are spread out beautifully. If I had any negative at all it would be that there’s nothing to tighten the connections of the middle section to the bottom one. You can adjust the stand easily to make it nice and tight on the bottom section, but the piece above that can still slideif something were to pull.push on it. It’s not an issue here as we have no small kids or cats but I could see it being a problem if that were the case. Otherwise it’s definitely sturdy when left alone…totally gorgeous, and perfect for the holiday season!
