National Tree Company Pre-Lit Artificial Full Christmas Tree, Green, Dunhill Fir, White Lights, Includes Stand, 9 Feet

After a hefty debate with my husband of a real tree vs. a fake one we finally took the plunge and purchased this. I've found over the years that most artificial trees don't have a gray area. They either look really amazing or like garbage so I'll admit I was a little nervous. So here's a couple of recommendations. The manufacturers have included a video on Amazon, which I would encourage you to watch, because it really does help. Even if you don't, the tree is pretty self explanatory and easy to assemble, and plug in to get all the lights to work. The tiny negative is that about 7 lights are out in the middle section and although we tried to fix it we couldn't figure out how, but it wasn't enough to send it back or complain. You can also add more lights if you want to, but honestly it really wasn't a big deal. I've read a few of the negative reviews and let's just be blunt about one thing. If you buy a tree like this and expect it to come out of the box looking perfect go back to dreaming about sugar plum fairies because this bad boy takes some TLC to look like a real tree. That is absolutely not a bad thing at all, because honestly what do you expect? It just boils down't to how much work to want to put into it. We bought the 10 ft. tree so let's just say it was a labor of love, but well worth it because EVERYONE who has walked into our home thinks the tree is real. You really have to reach in to make sure you "fluff" (don't have dirty thoughts, this is Christmas) properly so I would strongly encourage wearing a long sleeve shirt because you will scratch the living daylights out of your arms, and I'm writing this because I didn't take my own advice and now I look like I fell into a rose bush. NOT the fault of the maker. The tree is stunning and it's a worth while investment and you don't have to worry about watering or needles everywhere and the branches are well made and sturdy for larger glass or heirloom ornaments that you don't want to fall off the tree. Totally worth it and it comes a very fair price point compared to other with quality artificial trees that can run you 1,000 dollars or higher.

So blessed to get this tree on such a good sale price. At first, the tree didn't look promising but I trusted the process haha. It was super easy to just put the three sections of the tree together and the stand feels super sturdy. I plugged it in and that's it! The fluffing took time but once I finished it really looked amazing despite my first impression. It is perfectly tall, wide, and looks full enough. It's also quite heavy. My friends have told me it looks real when I showed them! It has an elegant, classic, and traditional feel to it. The light is a warm white and evenly distributed throughout the tree. Pre-lit is the way to go for me. I'm very happy!

Good size for medium space. Very attractive after fluffiness adjusted as needed. Easy to decorate with a variety of ornaments. Color of tree is a deep green and the attachments for the branches are sturdy.

This tree is beautiful. It's very full and you cannot tell the branches are not real. I would have given 5 stars but I didn't have the option for colored lights which I really wanted. It said in pictures you have an option but it did not. Only came in white lights. It puts together in a snap with all lights working great. It will take some time to fluff as they all do. I just took my time over a few days. Just a lovely tree for the price.

All, I purchased a tree from your company through Amazon on November 4th, 2019. The first year I had no issues. Year two (Christmas 2020) I had approximately 150 lights that were showing as burned out when looking at the bulbs. They were showing black markings on the bulbs themselves. After calling your company I found that although the tree was still under warranty, I would have to ship the tree back to you for any warranty work to be performed. Being that the tree weighs close to 100 lbs and would take a really large box, shipping was not an option due to the cost of doing so. So that year I purchased a box of replacement bulbs form National Tree Company (1,000 Clear replacement Bulbs / 2.5 volt) through Amazon and replaced the bulbs myself. After getting approx. 140 replaced I gave up and strung an extra set of lights myself to fill in the gaps. This year I pulled out the tree and found almost half of the bulbs were not getting any power. I methodically tested and replaced every single bulb that I found not turning on within each section of the tree. After replacing more than 300 bulbs, I was so pleased at the work and felt good again about the purchase. The very next evening I found that more than 50 lights were again in a burned state. The day after that there were more than 100 burned bulbs. As of today I estimate almost another 300 or more bulbs are now either burned or not lighting up. When I check the bulbs not showing any burned lenses I find that the bulbs are fine. Testing the sockets using the LightKeeper Pro Tester tool, I find that at times I can actually get a section on the tree to light up for just an instant and then back to nothing. I am assuming that there is a short somewhere in the line but I am unable to find and correct it. Update: Replaced another 250 bulbs and they all burned out within an hour. So it must be some sort of short I tried emailing National Tree directly as well as thru their web site interface. Every instance was returned as undiliverable. Phones calls returned a busy signal all day. I am really disappointed in the purchase. I was torn between your company and one other and made the purchase of the tree thinking that this was the way to go. No more lighting hassles or live tree clean up. So far, with the exception for the first use, I am regretting the purchase and I am ready to cut the lights off and string my own. It has really dampened the Christmas mood with the children and myself included. Not sure what else to try. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. As it stands I do not have the extra money to spend another $600 this year so this is what I am stuck with. Thank you for your time EDIT..... That year I cut out all of the pre-strung lighting and now use my own string lighting on the tree. Not one light has burned out on my strings of lights (Approx. 2200 lights). So from that point forward I have been using my own lighting.

I bought this pre lit Christmas tree for my four year old son’s room and it has been such a sweet addition to his little holiday space. The size is perfect for a child’s room because it feels magical without taking up too much space. He had the best day ever decorating it and even asked if he could borrow ornaments from our big tree to make his look extra special. Watching him take so much pride in his own little tree made the experience even better. The branches fluffed out nicely and the overall shape looks full and cheerful. The lights give the room a warm soft glow at night and create the sweetest cozy feeling during bedtime stories. The bulbs are evenly spaced and we have not had any issues with flickering or loose connections. The tree feels sturdy and stays balanced even with kid friendly ornaments added. I also appreciate that the base is stable and does not wobble when he adjusts his ornaments. It stores easily since the pieces fit right back into the box. I cannot wait to get him more ornaments and continue this tradition year after year. This tree has been such a joyful purchase and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a smaller tree that still feels high quality and festive.

Every Christmas we used to go out and spend $600-$900 on an 11-13ft tree. It was a waste of money and a real hassle of paying the delivery fee. We decided 2021 that we would purchase an artificial tree. We did our research on Amazon and came across this tree. National Tree Company Pre-Lit Artificial Full Christmas Tree, Green, Dunhill Fir, White Lights, Includes Stand, 12 Feet. There were not many reviews, but the pictures of the reviewers’ trees were nice and the tree came with a stand. We bought it and the rest is history. Once the tree is assembled it is massive. Having the lights pre-installed is a significant bonus. That is one of the best things about the tree is not having to wrap the tree with lights. **Setup** I’ve owned this tree for four years since I purchased it in 2021. As two women who are both 5'2", setting it up for the first time was quite a challenge, even with a tall ladder. However, we have made effective adjustments to simplify the process. When it was time to store the tree, to make it easier for the following years, we labeled its five pieces with blue tape (i.e., Bottom (5), 4, 3, 2, Top). To streamline the setup, we attached the top piece to number 2. We also wrapped the remaining four big pieces with bungee cords to keep the branches together, ensuring an easier installation. The following year, when we took out the tree, we immediately set up the stand. We started with the bottom piece, fluffed it out, and plugged it in to ensure all the lights were functioning. After that, we connected piece 4 to piece 5 and checked the lights again before attaching piece 3 to piece 4, so on and so forth. Because of our height, one of us stood on the ladder while the other handed up the tree. I strongly recommend having a taller and stronger person to assist; it would make the entire process much easier! 😊 Overall, due to our high ceilings, I believe the tree was a great choice. It looks stunning in our living room. We've received numerous compliments on the tree, and our guests love taking pictures next to it.

After decorating and dealing with this tree, I have to update my review. The tree branches are just too sharp so I have decided to send this back. The tree is pretty, and it is nice to look at once it's up and fanned out. It had seemed decently full, that is, until I saw my old one that I gave to my neighbors. Now THAT one is actually full and makes this one look pretty skimpy and empty. The picture here of it is before decorating it - I felt like the pic without decor would give a better idea of what it looks like. Besides me realizing that it's NOT very full, there are a couple things that have made me change my mind and decide to send it back. 1. Also unlike my last tree, this one is SUPER stabby. I had to wear gloves when working with this tree. And even with gloves, I still felt like I had some kind of splinters in my fingers. It's not, but it leaves you FEELING like you've got fiberglass splinters in your hands. Not cool, and even after the mass amount of cords and tags (explained next), this is the biggest downfall of this tree and what ultimately has forced my hand in returning it. It's just not ok and also not normal. 2. Cords. It has a SUPER CRAZY amount of cords. And each cord has an even crazier amount of tags all over Every. Single. One. of them! Yellow, silver, white, green - a million warnings for stupid people repeated on Every. Single. Cord. I spent a ton of time cutting them all off because they would definitely show thru the tree. The cords themselves are at least green tho, and they come zip tied onto the tree. If you do decide to go with this tree - in the chaos of trying to take everything apart in order to put it together, you may be tempted to cut them off. I don't recommend it - you're going to want them. I did that with one and put a zip tie right back on to hold the mass amount of cords against the tree. With zip ties and cutting off the tags, this part is noteworthy but dealable. To address the comments about lights - one nice thing is that there are a LOT of packs of extra lights, as well as fuses in case a whole strand/cord goes out, along with instructions. My tree did also seem to be completely covered, and evenly, with lights. Overall, it's not terrible but I just can't recommend it, mainly due to it being painful to deal with.

Perfect size tree with tons of light that was easy to assemble and delivery was 2 days earlier than expected. It was all in excellent condition with the extra lights. Put lots of decorations on it and you have a breath-taking result. Was not disappointed at all!

Bought it after Christmas last year and just put it up. When we first put it together we were disappointed because it seemed to have a lot of empty spaces. Once the branches were opened and “fluffed” it was great.

Just finished setting up the 6.5 foot tree right out of the box. It took about 1.5-2 hours to spread out all the branches. I put on a Christmas film while I was doing it and time flew. The result is well worth it. The tree looks full and beautiful. I’m happy with my purchase. There maybe could be a few more lights, but once the tree is decorated it won’t be as noticeable. Check out the instructional video from the manufacturer on the Amazon product page for the best way to spread out the branches and make the tree look its best. It helped me a lot. Merry Christmas everyone!

I spent a lot of time fluffing this tree out, maybe 3-4 hours total. It definitely doesn't go as fast as the video shows. If you don't spend the time to fluff it out, you likely won't like the results. Mine looks like the picture and I am very happy with it. Just be prepared to spend a lot of time getting it ready.

The tree itself was great. It was a bit too large for the space so it was returned. My elderly parents returned it and it was confirmed received 2 days later than their 30 day return so despite having the product the company has refused a refund. Have reached out several times and they will not refund even though they have it back within 32 days. Very disappointing as I would have donated the tree to someone instead of having my parents return it had I known I would not be reimbursed. Good product, not a good company to order from as zero flexibility.
