Review on National Tree Company 7.5ft Pre-Lit Slim Christmas Tree - Green Kingswood Fir with White Lights & Stand by Anthony Flores

Having never bought an artificial tree before, I did a little research and learned how to look for the "number of branches” on a tree. This gives you an idea of how thick/full the tree will be. More tips = thicker tree. This helped me to compare several trees with the same price. Some trees, including this one, don't say how many tops they have, but how many lights they have, which is partly related to the number of branches. and then another one with him half fluffy. At first it looks a little unsettling. You should spend a good 20-30 minutes hitting it. I worked as fast as I could as I had an impatient toddler to decorate with. This isn't the kind of fluff where you only have 3 branches to work with and try to place them carefully so they look as full as possible - each branch has about 10 folded tips that you need to spread out . all directions. The tree arrived in 3 parts and each has a lot of weight. A good indicator of quality and completeness. But the base is small. It holds the tree well, but it's very easy to knock it over if you have a clumsy toddler or a naughty cat, or the tree is outside in the wind. It can be very windy in our area and one day the tree was blown away. The upper part was completely disconnected, even the plug, but I couldn't find any damage and the tree still lights up normally. I need to find some sandbags or maybe put the base in a box filled with heavy rocks. (The trees are on a covered porch that is sheltered from the rain.) The trees have been outside in 30-50F weather for a week now. At this point I would definitely buy them again! Hope they last long.
