Perfect tree for us! Plus some handy tips:
By Flora W on Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2015
We are so happy with this tree!! Some important things to note if you're thinking of purchasing: 1. Take the time to separate each of the individual stems, one-by-one. It's tedious, but well worth it in the end. 2. The video everyone refers to is on the National Tree website under instructional videos. Here's a link: http://nationaltree.com/instructional-videos.html The same fluffing/shaping instructions are also provided in the instruction manual. 3. Wear gloves or long sleeves when you put it together. By the end of fluffing and separating you will probably have some scratches or irritation if you don't cover your arms. It's nothing too major, just a heads up if you want to avoid it all together. 4. Each group of branches has three smaller clumps on it. Be sure to pull both left and right sides away from the center clump and then start to individually separate the stems in each section. I have found that this method helps to really fill any empty spaces in the tree. 5. In the instruction video and manual it said that the three sections are tied together with a tie or string, but mine came wrapped in a wired faux-pine strip, which was completely camouflaged in the tree. Hopefully telling you this will save you some time, so you know what you're looking for to release the hinges. I really do love this tree, it has the perfect amount of lights, and the little brown detailing on the stems really gives it a "real" look. I'm not sure why there are any negative reviews, because for a faux pre-lit it's a reasonable price and it looks beautiful if it's assembled correctly.

Bad tree investment. Potentially dangerous.
By Paula F on Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2015
Well, this tree almost wrecked Christmas. We purchased it in 2012 via Amazon and thought it decent but over-priced the first year. That was our first year with our new daughter so we wanted the "perfect" Christmas. By the second year some of the branches were becoming unhinged if you looked at them wrong despite very careful storage. We might as well of had a real tree with how many needles dropped on the floor. But when the branches held, it still looked pretty decent. On the third year, two light strands no longer functioned despite changing fuses. We looped over additional lights and no, we didn't daisy chain in a different brand into the tree's lights. We had two separate cords to the wall. Well, this year, my Father-in-law celebrated Thanksgiving with us and as he lives far away and is ill, we decided to throw the tree up quickly and celebrate with him before he left town.We plugged in just the tree's original lights and every strand blew, and every bulb blew. Black tips at the end of every single bulb. While trying to make sure the problem was with the tree and not our wiring, the top third of the tree fell completely off. The stake that secures the top portion of the tree has glue around it. Well that glue apparently didn't want to stick around. We had to dismantle the remainder of the tree quickly and rush to the store for an unplanned tree purchase. We decided no more pre-lit trees and far prefer the replacement we scored for $60 to this nightmare tree. We are just thankful it didn't catch on fire.
