If you come across an artificial Christmas tree online that seems too good to be true, it probably is. Lesson learned. I loved the "woodsy" look of this tree. This is our first time going with an artificial tree, and I wanted to avoid that "perfect triangle" that you often get with fake trees. This one looks so great online, but unfortunately the real tree is a huge disappointment.

It is easy to assemble, and the lights are nice - very sparkly and evenly spaced. But even after spending an hour fluffing out the branches, I couldn't get it to look anything like the one in the picture. The bottom is okay, but the top is very thin and skimpy even after spreading out the branches, fluffing, etc. The tree's needles don't look even remotely real -- they just look like shredded plastic. I bought the 6.5 ft version, and it seemed so tiny once assembled. And because of the not-very-full tree, there was hardly going to be any place to put ornaments.

I've already bought another tree (locally, as now I see the advantage to seeing it in person before buying -- even if the reviews are good online, they aren't always reliable). If it's too cost prohibitive to send back, I'll probably put it in our basement family room and have that be the tree for the kids' handmade ornaments and all that. But never could I recommend this as a Christmas tree to anyone who wants a nice tree.
