Review on 4ft Pink Artificial Christmas Tree with 350 Tips for a Perfect Holiday Décor by Misty Good

Looks good until it falls apart!

As a child, I managed to pull our family's seven foot tall Christmas tree inside myself not once, but twice. I'm such an excellent student. When I had kids, my husband and I decided to avoid this problem by buying some small trees. We bought three from different large stores that served us well until the little needles started falling out and we decided it would be best to replace all three with new trees. Enter this Christmas tree. I bought three. Installation was incredibly easy and the trees look full when the branches are properly spread out. Lighting the trees was a bit of a challenge - the top half is just thin branches sticking straight out of the mullion, so I had to get creative to zigzag the light between them, but the result was acceptable. Then I started decorating the trees and that's when I noticed problems. Some of my jewelry are heavy. I have no idea what they are made of, but in my old trees they would sit on the lower branches and live perfectly happily there for about a month or so a year. The branches were strong and held up until I was an idiot and put jewelry on a branch too far away. Not so with the trees on this list. It was pretty clear that if I didn't hang the decorations as close to the center post as possible, the whole branch would sag dangerously close to the table. I did my best and hung most of my decorations and hoped it would hold. I woke up one morning to find that one of the trees looked a little saggy. Upon closer inspection, I noticed that one of the lower branches had slipped out of the B-pillar trim. With a very un-Christmas curse, I attempted to reinstall it. The case was thin plastic and contained no branch. Oddly enough, it wasn't a branch with heavy ornamentation. At Christmas another branch slipped out of the casing of the second Christmas tree. Maybe this branch thought it could escape the onslaught of noise when my kids open their presents, but it was held up by the tangled wires of the Christmas light chain, which also conveniently died when this branch fell. So now I had two trees that looked like garbage. It's New Year's Eve and a branch is missing from the third tree, as is another branch from tree number two. I don't even turn on the lights in the trees (which is unknown to me until at least the second week of January because the light makes me happy) and I'm very disappointed that these trees reflect how 2018 went for me: It started strong, had some problems in the middle and then crashed and burned out at the end. So if you wish Merry Christmas, I suggest getting other trees. Happy New Year!
