Review on πŸŽ„ 4.5 Feet National Tree Company Slim Pre-Lit Christmas Tree - Green Kingswood Fir with White Lights and Stand by Jenna Hicks

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very pretty tree, with a few little "features " to work with

This is a great little artificial tree! I love that despite its height the width is narrow which is perfect for my cramped apartment as I can stash it in more convenient places than if I had a real tree that big. I also appreciated how easy it was to set up - it comes with instructions but I didn't find them necessary. One minor downside is that the cable situation is a bit ambiguous, with instructions listing the schematics for all the heights these trees come in - I just skimmed the instructions to see if I've done anything wrong with the cables since then how the top and bottom halves are wired independently, so the top half needs to be connected to the bottom half's wire, and then you need to run an extension to the branches to power the tree. I also wired a flaming treetop, just carefully wrapping and securing the extra wires in the branches so they weren't visible. As for the tree top: It just doesn't have the stability to support anything heavier than a tissue paper or tape top, so I got around this by attaching a three foot dark green bamboo garden stake to the trunk of the tree in a couple of places, and then attach the top of the tree to it so it works fine but it took a little creativity. I love that this tree is small enough to be placed on a table or stand to give it more presence, while still being proportioned to fit into tight spaces and give the illusion of it's self contained is a full-size tree. Be sure to save the packaging for convenient storage outside of the holiday season, and prepare to get a little creative with the wiring and treetop. The convenience of a nice lit Christmas tree more than makes up for a few shortcomings and the lack of Christmas tree smell (just buy a nice spruce, juniper or cedar candle and you won't even miss out!)

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly crumpled
