Review on 🎄 National Tree Company Pre-Lit Slim Christmas Tree, 6.5 ft, Green Kingswood Fir - White Lights & Stand Included by Autumn Davis

This year (2018) is our second year. After unboxing and 45 minutes of fluffing, I had an awful gap between the middle and top sections. Aside from the gap, you can see right through the wood in the lower sections. I love a regular, thick tree, but it's not the same at all. If I wanted a Charlie Brown tree, I would buy a Charlie Brown tree. It's crazy that someone could make this tree look like a complete, dense, normal tree without adding anything to it. For example, I spent $17 and cracked a 20ft garland from Target (estimated replacement cost is about $25). It took a lot of effort to fix the tree and make it look like a real tree. If you're wondering what I did, read on. 1.) I received three 18" unlit pine wreaths from Michael. The original idea, which I borrowed from YouTube, was to put one wreath between the bottom and middle sections and a second wreath between the middle and top sections. Unfortunately it didn't work. The pencil tree is a bit narrow and didn't look right. So I took the wreaths apart and cut them into 1/2 or 1/4 pieces and put them in between the sections and adjusted them until they blended Thanks to the sale, they're about $3 each This only covered the gaps between the three sections, not the gaps between the actual rows of branches, so 2.) I took our 20 ft. last year's fir garland and cut them out as well. After filling all the rows, I cut 6-7" branches from the garland and stuffed them into the tree until the garland was gone and the tree was complete. Some may wonder It's easy to see why I didn't just wrap the garland around the tree. I thought about it. But then I thought it might be like a piece of garland wrapped around a tree. I wanted it to blend in with the wood and look like it was part of the tree so I cut it out. After that, 3.) I bought three racks of 100,000 clear bulbs from Walgreens (that's all they had for clear bulbs). On sale for $2.50 each. All in all, I spent about $17 on the stuff, not counting the 20ft garland, which I may or may not replace. I think the one we had that's now disassembled in a tree was about $25 at Target. I have to say I love my tree very much, but it didn't come out of the box the way it is.
