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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A delightful tree with a small area!

There is only one place for a tree in our cave, and that place didn't allow the tree to occupy 3-4 feet of floor space. I ordered this tree after reading the good reviews. In the interest of full disclosure, I have to admit that I was a bit disappointed when I opened the box. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but my first impression was that it didn't look "natural". Since it was October at the time, I removed the box along with my original answer. Last weekend (just after Thanksgiving) I pulled the box out of the closet and took out the tree. Still not overloaded. But I stuck with it, and once I started putting out the branches, my attitude changed. When I'm done decorating, I don't know how I ever did without this delicate, beautiful wood. It is complete and looks quite realistic on closer inspection. The lights looked skimpy before I added the embellishments, but the glass and the sheen of the embellishments really made the wood shine bright. Clear lights are quite bright. The tree is very stable on a base that almost reaches the branches. I really like that the branches almost reach the ground. which adds realism to the appearance. Evergreens in the forest always grow near the ground. It took me a few hours to get the tips of the branches perfect, but I'm very happy with the results. When I was done there were only 5 or 6 bristles left on the floor. That's almost no shedding, which made me very happy. If this continues, this tree will last for a very long time! I've uploaded a photo of our decorated Christmas tree to give you an idea of what it might look like in your home. I recommend buying without hesitation. The price is low but the quality is not! UPDATE: Tree stood 6 weeks. I have 4 dogs that play around the house quite roughly and slide on wood a few times. he has never fallen or lost his needle. The grandchildren were amazed by this beauty. I have to say that my husband and I liked this tree so much that we didn't want to tear it down.
