9 Foot Christmas Tree, Full Premium Hinged Blue Spruce Artificial Christmas Tree with Realistic 4668 Thicken Tips, Unlit

This is my first artificial Christmas tree, so my family was not happy that I have bucked the tradition of a real one. I think they are coming around after seeing this one. It was put together in minutes, and with two people helping, fluffed out in thirty. It is very full and realistic. The stand seemed a little wobbly, but I had no problem putting on lights and some heavy ornaments. The decorated tree is not shaky at all. I was disappointed that the top was not sturdy enough for my star (we had to fold the perpendicular branch down and pull a couple other top branches together to be able to support the star). I plan on attaching a plant spike to the top for next year. This is a minor issue as the tree is well worth the money and so beautiful. Every time I walk by it, I say to myself, “I love it!”. I can’t stop admiring it! I plan on updating this review next year after I take it down and put it back up in 2020.Update:My tree is going strong 5 years later! The branches all look good and there’s been minimal needle droppings. It survived my move to another state. (See last photo)Things to know: This tree is more full than the average artificial tree so I would purchase a larger size storage bag to store it each year. Each year, I struggled to stuff this tree into a 7’ tree bag, and it was hard work! This year, I purchased a 9’ tree bag. Let’s see if it makes the job easier! One thing I never did get. I was promised a lighted garland as a bonus gift when I bought the tree 5 years ago and never got it. Still a great purchase and beautiful tree.

This is my honest review of this tree. I purchased this tree with my own money and was not paid or compensated in any way to write this review.We had always purchased a real Christmas tree, but as the cost of a real tree has continued to rise over recent years, I was still deciding whether to stay with our usual tradition or purchase an artificial tree. We purchased the 10 ft tree to fit our tall family room area. I chose to order the tree without lights because we already had plenty of lights that we had used with our previous real trees, and I wanted to avoid being stuck with a tree with attached lights that might stop working. After receiving this tree and seeing it in person, I know I made the right choice for our family, and I am not disappointed with my decision. This is a very high-quality tree that will last us for many years to come.The tree arrived in one hefty and colossal box. Inside the box were four labeled sections of the tree, which were quite compressed, and a pair of white gloves to protect my hands while fluffing the tree branches. The gloves were quite tattered by the end of putting the tree together but were a thoughtful addition. Putting the tree together without gloves did not bother my son’s hands. The individual sections of the tree were heavy for me, and I was glad my family was there to help with this part. It took about one hour to fluff the branches with my son and I working together. Some branches were bifurcated, which allowed them to fill most gaps that are commonly seen in a lot of other artificial trees. The branches were flexible and sturdy at the same time. We lost two small pieces in the process of setup, which was not noticeable at all. Honestly, the tree is so complete that it made placing the lights and ornaments go by so much faster than in the past with real trees because we did not have to add more lights or ornaments to cover any bare spots. The top of the tree is fuller than the tops of other trees, and this adds to the tree’s beauty. We could fold the branch at the top over itself to provide a secure resting spot for the star. If I look very closely at each branch, it is apparent that it is not a real tree, but I must look closely to see this. The way the branches were made prevents this tree from looking like a triangle when set up like many other artificial trees I had viewed.We did not save the original box. We purchased several waterproof bags from Amazon and will use those to store the tree in sections after we take it down in hopes of cutting down on time spent rearranging the branches in future years. This is a stunning tree, and I am so happy with my purchase!

Easy to set up & looks great. Fits nicely in my window space.

First year in over 40 we haven't had a live 9-12 foot tree. This is nice & full and hard to tell it's not real. Very sturdy but very heavy. It took two of us to safely put the sections together. Took about an hour to assemble & pull individual branches apart. It is very densely packed for shipping and I couldn't lift the box myself from where the delivery driver left it. Decided to store it in our overhead assembled as getting it back in the box was not an option LOLExcellent quality, shape & value for price!

We purchased the 1000 light tree and it arrived quickly. My wife put it together and it looks nice, is sturdy and fuller than some other trees we looked at before purchasing this one. The only disappointment is that it is supposed to have 1000 lights and I beleive it is around 500 lights. Almost impossible to count them but I counted the top section and it had less than 100. So we had to add extra lights which is bit frustrating. Not sure if they shipped the wrong tree or if is intentionally misleading by stating it has 1000 lights in the description. We are keeping it because of the timing of Christmas and getting another tree shipped and the hassle of trying to box it back up and ship it back wasn't worth it. Just wish it had the correct number of lights so we didn't have to add more ourselves.
