I’m a fan of a real Christmas tree and nothing artificial will ever truly compare However, I completely understand that there are times and places where a faux tree is necessary, so if you’re going to have a faux tree, we want it to be one of the best I found this one on sale for Amazon Prime Day and here are my thoughts: Pros: It was super quick and easy to assemble, it took me less than 10 mins which included the ridiculous amount of time it took to cut through all the tape There are lots of spaces for ornaments, although it isn’t quite as sparse as it looked in the online photo It’s pre-lit eliminating the need for strands of Christmas lights The tips of the tree are very realistic looking Cons: It’s not quite as sparse as I had hoped, but that’s a personal preference The “inner branches” are definitely faux, however I don’t think you’ll notice much once she’s filled with baubles It’s advertised as a 7.5 foot tree and she comes up just a little shy, I only measured 88 inches Overall, for under $200 I think this is a great Christmas tree option. She’s a keeper! christmastree christmastreereview amazonfinds LTKSeasonal LTKHoliday
