Slim Downswept Douglas Fir, 7.5 Feet

The media could not be loaded. This tree is amazing quality for the price (bought on sale for $130). The branches are a mix of cheaper and good quality pvc/plastic - towards the inside of the tree is a little bit of a cheaper quality, for filler I guess, but all the ends/tips look very realistic (3D quality instead of being flat like the cheaper ones so it really fluffs up nicely). It comes in 3 parts. Start with the bottom and work your way up. I attached the bottom to the stand and then took my time fluffing open the tips on each branch (it does look very skinny until you do this), then add the middle and do the same, and then the top . The bottom two parts, the branches are on hinges but the top you kind of have to shape yourself although it was very quick and easy to do. There is a good amount of lights and they all work perfectly and are very good quality. If they ever crap out on me I can just buy a new strand of lights but for now these are great. The tree itself seems to be a true 7.5 feet (or pretty close as I didn't measure it , however our ceilings are 8 feet and it comes up to just below that . The width seems to be accurate too and it fits perfectly in the corner of our living room - the perfect size for us. As far as stability goes, it could be a little better as it is a tiny bit wobbly when you're moving it but if you want to secure it with some fish wire to the wall maybe that could work (if it bothers you) - all in all it wasn't unstable enough for me to remove a star. The poles have some garland wrap (thin) around them to help blend in with the rest of the tree. I wanted a good quality tree for a bargain price and I got it - this one will be with us for at least the next decade if not longer so I'm very satisfied just for that fact alone (I'd originally planned on buying a cheap cheap one this year because we just bought a house and funds are stretched a bit but when I saw this tree I knew it was well worth the money - and I was right!)My advice is DON'T listen to reviews complaining about how bare it seems to be, those people clearly didn't take the time to fluff it properly. On each branch there are several tips , just fan them out like a star - I tried to make a video to demonstrate if that helps. I also showed before and after fluffing. In one photo you can also see the difference in the different quality branches. Threw in a couple of one of our cats for tax (she was a feral we rescued and this is her first real christmas, and she is fascinated by everything). 😸 Highly recommend!

Spend time fluffing this tree and it will look exactly like the photo. I can’t believe I paid only $130 for it. I am a perfectionist and love, love, LOVE this tree!! My husband & I recently downsized our home and gave away our massive Christmas tree. We needed a much narrower tree for our new home and saw this one. I wanted to get it up quickly to make sure I like it, and allow time to return/replace it, if need be, before the holidays. No need to return as it is perfect!! Only time will tell how long it will last, but for now, I can’t wait to decorate it. For those complaining about the lights, I find in the middle and at the bottom some lights are hidden on the under side of branches. Rotate them so they are more visible. Oh, and the price was right!! If space is an issue, this is your tree!!!

This is a sturdy tree - great for a narrow area - has a realistic look - you can manipulate branches for open areas to feature your dangly ornaments - plenty of lights - narrower than a full tree, but wider than a pencil tree. Take the time to "fluff" the tree before decorating. I'm a happy customer. *update: the actual tree did well, but part of the bottom tier lights have gone out. I can't see where the problem is as there are no burnt out bulbs. But I have noticed this seems to be a reoccurring problem with this tree.

This tree is an amazing purchase! It’s EXACTLY as described and the video set up made it so easy to see how remarkably beautiful and natural-looking this tree is!I had thought I was finished trying to put up a tree every year. In my 70’s it hardly seemed worth it with often traveling to be with others, my own home didn’t seem so important when it came to holiday decorating. YET, I missed having a beautiful CHRISTMAS TREE just for me even. As a kid, I was always the 1of 5 kids who went with dad to chose a tree who insisted on the PERFECT height and EXACT shape. Hard to find with a natural tree. Now as the decades have passed and artificial and prelit trees have come on the scene, I finally acquiesced . However it was so heavy and lights often didn’t work plus was very difficult to put together.:(About an hour ago this new 7.5 National prelit tree was delivered. I just finished completely putting it together in less than an hour! I followed the video instructions and had no problem at all. I even followed the instruction to finesse the branches on the top portion before connecting. I sat on my couch to do this! NO LADDERS. I even put my star on top before I hooked it together. DEC 1 is today and thanks to National Tree Co and Amazon , I have over a month to enjoy this gorgeous reminder of this beautiful season in my home❤️🎄👏🏻.It’s beautiful! Natural-looking. I love the slimness of its profile in my condo. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Beautiful, skinny, simply tree! Love this! Don’t put ornaments on it, and it’s just so beautiful ! Def will be buying more for around the house this year

Pros: the tree looks good and it’s easy to set up. It’s perfect for a slim space and fluffs out nicely to give an appearance of fullness without taking up much space.Cons: the base doesn’t secure the tree very well (it’s just one screw, not two or more) so as a result the tree leans a bit and sways with any touch and is kind of flimsy.It looks great, especially if you add an extra light string or two and as long as you stick to light, non-delicate, non-breakable ornaments, it’ll be fine. But I wouldn’t put anything heavy or breakable on this tree as I’d be afraid of it tipping over. This is great for kid-made ornaments out of things like popsicle sticks and other light, non-breakable items. This is our secondary tree for the smaller family area and it works well there. Our formal tree in our living room is a Balsam Hill tree and it’s much sturdier and able to support heavier/more delicate ornaments. If this tree had a stronger base that secured the tree better and prevented the leaning and swaying, it would be 5 stars.

Overall a very nice tree. A few more lights would be nice but happy in general.
