We bought this yesterday, Saturday after Thanksgiving. We have never had an artificial tree before, but we are traveling a lot the end of this year, and now seemed to be a good time to go this route. I ordered it online, and went to the store to pick it up. Fits in the back of the SUV - long box, let the seat down.

It takes less than five minutes to set up. Our first thought was, "oh no, this is NOT going to work". It was sparse and not very pretty. Then I said, "let's try to spread out the branches like the directions say". That takes at least 45 minutes, maybe an hour. After starting, I decided some music and a libation would help. A step stool also helps. Truly, this a pretty nice tree! The branches bend easily, but aren't fragile. You can move them around to fill in all of the gaps. you can point them up, down, or sideways, which makes for a realistic look. There are LOTS of branches once you start unfolding them. I keep finding another that we didn't arrange yet. The lights are fun, and the remote control is a useful feature! (Grandkids are going to love this feature) We are very pleased with this purchase now. Could be the wine, but we think it is nice, and we're glad we got it now. Pictures of before (on the bottom) and after (on the top) the branches are unfolded.

The tree is beautiful and full. It must be fluffed! (as all trees should be!) I adore all the different light settings and that you can change from white to multicolored lights. The tree is 3 pieces- super easy to assemble. I bought the tree online on Black Friday and chose to pick up which, I did. The tree had a broken piece inside pole and top of tree would not stand up straight. Ordered another online to pick up at another store 30 mins away(only store that had one) but, the store didn’t pull order in timely fashion and it was no longer available. Ordered another to be shipped to my house- 2 days later no info on that tree. Ordered another to be shipped to the house and it finally came! A lot of work to get my tree! Other order was canceled the day after I received my tree. Now mind you that every time I ordered it showed that there were trees available. It was frustrating. The tree was supposedly 199.00 full price so, worth the trouble in the end to get it for 78.00.

We paid $79.99 for this tree when the lights on our old one failed us at the last minute. For $79.99 it's great. Took a lot of ornaments to fill in the bald spots near the "trunk". We could only use lightweight ornaments because the branches/needles aren't that sturdy. Definitely not the fullest tree either from a filled in or wide standpoint.

However, it is nicely shaped and when heavily decorated (with lightweight ornaments) and with the lights on, it was nice enough that we'll probably use it another year or two.

In summary, while I probably wouldn't have chosen it as my first choice of a tree, it arrived quickly with free delivery, at an exceptional price and saved Christmas. If it survives storage until next year we will probably use it again.

This tree is so good. Buy it! Especially if it's on sale. We had a similar one this year but the middle section and top section were burnt out for good. Found this tree in a desperate search to find a new bigger tree, but also a "cheaper" with it being a last minute expense. For $80 total, we couldn't be happier with this tree. Lots of branches to make it look fluffier (I wore sleeves and used gloves to avoid being scratched and itched while I fluffed it), lots of pretty lights all over, convenient ways to change the multiple light settings. It's the perfect height and a great addition to your holiday decor. This tree came in clutch! Thanks, HD!
