Review on 🎄 4.5 Feet Pre-Lit Artificial Christmas Tree, Green North Valley Spruce, Multicolor Lights - National Tree Company with Stand by Mayra Castillo

THIS PRODUCT IS FULLY CONFIRMED! IF I CAN GIVE ZERO STARS, I HAVE TO! I recently purchased a pre-lighted version of this Christmas tree (7.5ft) and had it delivered 2 days ago. When I was trying to assemble the Christmas tree last night, I didn't realize that a so-called "pre-lit" Christmas tree is basically strings of lights that are pre-wrapped around the tree's leaves and branches. The lights are not built in! Okay I assume I paid for some poor guy to wrap these lights around the branches. However, what really annoys me is that the wrapping of these lanterns was done so haphazardly and tightly that I couldn't even unfold the "leaves" and tidy them up (see attached photo). I ended up getting so frustrated trying to unravel the branches that I had to unwind and remove the lanterns myself. I thought maybe I could rearrange the lights myself after removing them (just like it's traditionally done). Unfortunately, after taking it off, I found that these headlights cannot be connected to each other, ie there are no through connections. Each garland needs to be plugged into an outlet separately, and in my case 5 outlets for the whole damn tree! (For those wondering, incandescent, not LEDs. I'm a lighting pro, so I'm sure.) The only positive thing I noticed from this test is that the wood seems very durable (although I still need to assemble it). My advice to anyone considering purchasing a "pre-lit" version of this tree is DON. 'T! You will feel cheated if you do this! If you really want it, go for the non-illuminated version, buy the headlights separately and thread them yourself. It can also be a good family pastime, hanging lights and decorations. ; )
