National Tree Company Artificial Christmas Tree, Newberry Spruce, Green, Includes Stand, 7.5 Feet

First attempt from Amazon to get a National Tree Company tree was a fail, kept saying delays for a month and had a hard time canceling thru the app before a delivery that never occurred, but found the identical tree from another dealer and it too was delayed but got it and it's good!If your mother or grandmother never taught or showed you how to open an artificial tree, it's time consuming but the results are great in the end, open each main branch, bottom up, allowing it to "lay down" naturally and every part of the branch opened about 45 degrees, it's an art and you'll get better at it as years go on.This tree replaced a 20yo one that was getting a little rusty in the joints, but I see this one has less metal and more hard plastic, but it doesn't make it cheap, just less to rust, it's metal where it counts.From my pic you can see it's pretty darn full after "fluffing". Nothing fell off but you should be a little careful, everything has its break point, but very malleable.I got the 7ft, it's exactly that tall, my basement ceiling under the hvac is that height.Assembly was a breeze, and nice they tagged the parts because 1 and 2 can be tricky.I like that it has a natural draping effect, but if you like a perfect triangle this is close but not boring exact shape ;)Big bonus from the previous tree, when you do all the branch opening, it doesn't scratch up your skin. The branches are a blend of the tinsely and the full plastic greens, overall a very nice effect and about as real an artificial tree can get.Not much more to say, the unlit to me is best, no old broken lights lingering on the tree, change things up every year etc.I have storage to keep it mostly open, that's the only pia when you have an artificial tree, otherwise I recommend the tree bag which you can mush down and fit anywhere, use the nice box it came in for something else.

The tree will be just what I've been looking for once I fully "fluff" all the limbs. Well constructed, decent price and lots of reviews from very satisfied customers

This is our first artificial tree. Been mulling over getting one for two years, and finally decided to go for it. After looking at a lot of trees (on line) from a lot of manufacturers, finally decided on this one because of shape, cost, and positive reviews. I was a little nervous about doing so sight (and touch) unseen, but I couldn't find anyone locally that had one in stock. It is a beautiful tree, and people who know me to be a die hard 'real tree' person thought this one was real until they got close to it.Is it is full as the manufacturer's pictures show? No. Could it be? Maybe, if enough time was spent fluffing it. I spent probably 3 hrs fluffing it, and I'm happy with the result. Where it sits in a corner in my home, I can't get around to half of it, and eventually it felt like I hit diminishing returns working on just the side I could reach. I was surprised that the non-Real Feel branches go as far out on the branches as the do, but they aren't as noticeable as I thought they would be. I tried to capture that in the second picture.I put a 600 light string of Twinkly Lights on this tree, and have loved it all season long. I will have a review with pictures of the Twinkly Lights as well.

The tree came securely boxed. Pieces were heavy but manageable. I could assemble by myself. Fluffing took me more than 3 hours, but I was also lighting as I went (I got the unlit tree, as I prefer my own lights .... throw away a strand, rather than the whole tree). It turned out AMAZING. For the money, absolutely the BEST TREE EVER!

Overall, for the price ($180 at the time of our purchase), we were pleased with this tree. It looks fairly real for a fake tree, seems pretty sturdy, and was easy to set up. The main disappointment and loss of a star was for its lack of fullness. Even after lots of time fluffing the branches, there were still gaps that showed the metal branches inside and screamed "I'm fake." My husband felt like the decorations would be enough to cover those gaps, and they may have been. But I was not satisfied, so my quick and cheap solution was to buy seven 9-ft cheap pine garlands (see pic) at our local craft store ($3 each, total of about $20) and stuff them in the gaps of the tree. This totally did the trick! See the before and after pics.When setting up the tree, I didn't lose any branches or pines which made me feel good about the quality. The outside ends/tips of all the branches are a mix of the real-feel branches and the cheaper-looking branches. The combo gave the overall appearance of a live tree. This is the first year we are trying a fake tree instead of a live one. I stuck one of our small oil diffusers under the tree with pine essential oil and it's almost as good as a live one. Easy setup (though heavy bottom portion). Hoping to get several years from this tree.

After reading others reviews decided to give this tree a try. It is a beautiful tree. Got it on sale which was a bonus. It does take time to "fluff" the tree. My advice is start at the top and work your way down. I figured out each "branch" unfolds in the direction it should go therefore no need to bend in any other way than the way they unfold. Start from the back of the limb and work your way forward. It still took about half a day to get it together. Next year I will know what to do so should go quicker. It does not come with lights so keep that in mind. I do highly recommend this tree, it does take up space so not for a small corner

I was a little nervous to order this tree since it didn’t have any reviews yet. It is just as pictured. It is very full. It was very easy to assemble. Took us about an hour and a half to fluff it up from the box but we are delighted with the results. The real feel tips are very realistic and soft. We did lose a small branch during assembly but it was nothing crucial.
