We took the monumental step this year of buying an artificial tree after doing tons of research. I have never liked anyone else’s artificial tree, so I expected to be disappointed on some level. Instead, we are thrilled!

My husband and I unboxed and “fluffed” for 45 minutes, and it is gorgeous. It totally exceeds our expectations: the shape, fullness, and branch details are excellent. Even the texture is fine— it is the only giveaway that it is not real. Now we just need a candle with a Christmas tree scent.

We like the classic white lights though there are other options. I'm sure my grandson will flip the switch to try them all.

My recommendation for fluffing for the first time: the top piece is small so I started with this in my lap to get the hang of how the branches can be rearranged easily for fullness. (For reference, we purchased a 7.5’ tree.) This made my learning curve much faster than my husbands! 🤣

We put the base and the bottom section on our dining table and did those branches next so we didn't have to bend over while fluffing that layer. We aren’t that old but it would still be uncomfortable working at ground level.

Then my husband put it on the floor, added the largest middle set of branches, and connected those lights. Very easy with 2 color-coded ends. I added the top section that I had already fluffed and we connected those lights. NOTE: Connecting the lights is easier before fully fluffing the middle section. We added the extension cord and plugged it in so we could finish the rest of the tree with the lights on. I didn't worry about specially positioning the branches with the lights. The more varied it looks, the better.

The result (even without ornaments) is prettier than any tree we have cut down in the past 40 years. At this point in our lives I won’t miss the daily watering and falling needles but I am not going to settle for a disappointing tree. It’s a beauty!

Hope this helps! Merry Christmas 🎄

This is my first time leaving a review on amazon, and I have packages arriving to me everyday so that says a lot. I have the 8 ft tall Green Christmas Tree. It looks SO GOOD by itself, I feel like it doesn’t even need ornaments (but of course I will buy some). Anyway, this is an AMAZING tree for the price! Easy to assemble and pretty straightforward. Quality is really good! I love the way the branches open, they have this sort of “star pattern.” Looks really full and perfect size for our home!
