Was at first a little concerned when box opened and the tree seemed *really* frosted (edging very close to tacky), but as tree went up, and branches spread - I could see the frosting was concentrated on the tips, making the overall appearance closer to the one in the picture here. Also, at first there seemed to be a lot of space between branches, but each main branch is composed of a bunch of smaller branches that are individually wired and need to be separated from each other. Once this job is done, the tree really starts looking beautiful. Plug in the lights, and the tree goes from beautiful to spectacular.

I bought this tree on sale after Christmas, and just set it up for the first time. I've never had an artificial tree before so didn't quite know what to look for. It is a pretty tree--especially in dim light and when you are at least three feet away. When you look too closely it looks very fake to me, partly because of the white flocking on the tips of the branches, and partly because the needles look like they are made of an easter grass material. It does not look like a cheap tree, but it does not look like one of the expensive trees with molded needles either. I would like the tree better without the flocking on the branch tips and pine cones. The lights look nice, good quantity and well placed. The branches hang to the ground, not leaving much room for presents.

We had purchased this exact same tree at a local Christmas Store for $500.00 and then found it on Amazon for $300.00 cheaper!!!!!! We returned the other and ordered from Amazon. It's absoutely the same tree and gorgeous!!! Very Happy with this item!!

This tree is so real looking and so beautiful that everyone had to look twice to see if was an artificial tree or not. It was pretty enough without the decorations on it, with the white frosted tips and all the lights. It had realistic branches and pinecones, and was full without looking like a bush. It is the best artificial tree we have ever had!

My mother and I toured all the usual shops, looking for a pre-lit tree: Home Depot, Sears, Target, etc. Nothing really caught our fancy. Then in desperation, we came across this tree when searching the web, and on the strength of the other reviews, we ordered it.

We were very pleased with it when we unpacked it and plugged it in. The flocking is a light, attractive dusting. The two kinds of white lights -- frosted and clear -- really light the tree up. I must admit that there is a darkish patch or two, but with a little judicious maneuvering, the patches can be turned around to the back side where no one can see them anyway.

The tree is heavy, but the stand is very secure, the branches look full and sturdy. Compared to all the cheap junk we saw at other stores, this is head and shoulders above them. Perhaps the only downside is that, as someone else said in a review, the branches start low to the ground so packing presents underneath isn't going to be easy.

However, with super-fast delivery (7 pm on the night before Thanksgiving) and easy-peezy assembly, I really think you can't go wrong with this product.

I was able to get this tree on sale just after Christmas last year, and have just put it up for the first time. I am very happy with the tree. It has a very sturdy heavy weight construction, it was easy to assemble (though shaping the branches took quite a while - it is a very full tree with lots of branches), and the pre-lit lights nicely spaced and working fine. In the box besides the tree were a replacement lights/fuses kit, a light string tester, and a power strip. Though I don't think it would be worth the $399 list price, I am very happy with it for the price I paid. I have received nothing but compliments on it from everyone who saw it over the Thanksgiving holiday. It is a frosted tree, as others have mentioned, and has attached pinecones. I personally like this, it may seem like too much when you first assemble it, but when decorated this just gives it a little extra something and I didn't feel it was over done. I think the majority of people would be happy with this tree.

I just received this tree and we just had to put it up to see what it looked like. I am very pleased. It is important to have a beautiful Christmas tree and this is it. I would recommend this tree to anyone who wants simple elegance without a lot of fuss.
Thank you Amazon for the product and the price!

I love this tree. It's so beautiful and realistic looking. The white frosting is not tacky at all, the pine cones completes the tree and makes it so much more realistic. The branches do hang low to the ground, but that will make it all the more fun for my kids to have to work to get to their gifts. Also, I think maybe you could manipulate the branches so they don't hang quite so low.

The only complaint is that the tree is SO HEAVY! My husband is currently deployed and there is NO WAY I can get it up to the attic by myself. I could probably get it down to the basement, but then the drudgery of pushing this heavy thing back up the stairs come time to put it up is daunting. Even putting the tree up alone is a little challenging and I'm no weakling.

I imagine the weight makes it more sturdy and durable, so I accept it, but it does make it difficult to store in an attic or to assemble alone. If not for the weight, I would rate this product a 5.

We just received ours and set it up today. After spending a lot of time "fluffing" it looks great. I recommend a more random arrangement than what the instructions recommend. The lights are cool to the touch so you can arrange it while lit to see the distrbution easily. It has a spectacular number of bright lights, both frosted and clear. It lights up a room all by itself. The kids are ecstatic.

I bought this tree with the thought that we'd put we'd put it up next year (our other artificial tree was on its last legs). Well, this morning, Christmas, of course, 2 of those legs broke and crashbam! the elderly tree went horizontal. Once we cleaned up THAT little adventure, we couldn't resist putting up this new tree. It is LOVELY. All the lights worked just fine and it's incredibly easy to assemble. We did not find the frosting to be too much, and the pine cones are a really nice touch. I see this tree is currently unavailable. Hopefully it will be back in stock because it is a wonderful buy for the cost and looks terrific.
