National Tree Company 7.5 ft Pre-Lit Carolina Pine Artificial Christmas Tree, 750 Clear Lights, 1,399 Tips, Includes Stand, Green

I recently purchased this Christmas tree, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice! The tree looks incredibly full and lush, with branches that mimic the look and feel of a real evergreen. Setting it up was quick and easy, the sections fit together smoothly, and the branches fluff out beautifully.The quality is impressive. The lights are evenly distributed and give off a warm, cozy glow that adds the perfect holiday touch to my home.I highly recommend this tree for anyone looking to bring festive cheer into their home. It’s definitely worth the investment and has made this holiday season extra special!

I saw a tree exactly like this at Bronner’s Christmas Wonderland for $750! I fell in love with it but could not stomach the price. What drew me was the fullness and different mix of branches that sets it apart from other artificial pre-lit trees so I started to look for the same but less expensive tree. I looked in stores and online and only able to find online but again the price was crazy until I saw it on Amazon for such a great price! I should have just looked on Amazon from the beginning and saved myself time and effort. I was very uncomfortable purchasing on line without actually seeing the tree on display in person. However there was only 3 left and I took a chance. The tree is absolutely beautiful and looks just like the $750 tree I saw at Bronner’s Christmas Wonderland. My 16 year old son even commented on how much he really liked this tree which is not something he would normally comment about. It is a very big and heavy tree that comes in three pieces and I do not have great upper body strength so I needed help to put the pieces together. However assembly was very easy and quick. I did initially have an issue with some of the lights not working but they seemed to fix themselves when I luckily must have wiggled the right branch. I never had the issue again whenever I turned on the lights over about a month or so span and I hope that this will not be an ongoing issue. We have had issues with our tree that we have had for over 20 years so we have become experts at trouble shooting and getting lights to work and since we love this tree so much, we will keep it. There is also a 2 year warranty so we could return if we should change our mind.

My husband and I surprised ourselves with really LOVING our first fake tree! I bought the National Tree Company Carolina Pine 7.5 Foot Artificial Holiday Prelit Christmas Tree on a Cyber Monday sale. I was a bit reluctant to select this tree because other reviewers mentioned that it might look too fake with three different species in one tree, but I ended up really appreciating the beauty of this feature.Putting the tree up was no easy task, hohoho, I easily spent three hours, which does not include adding my own ornaments later. I suggest wearing gloves and adding one section at a time, starting with the bottom section first. It takes PATIENCE to artfully spread the branches out but is well-worth the effort in the end.Maintenance of the tree is certainly EASIER. Thankfully, I spent less time procuring the real thing, keeping it watered, and placing lights on it! The quality of the fake tree is quite good, I don't think Santa will even notice the difference. The only thing missing is the scent of a real tree. For that, I will hang a live wreath in same room. I'm waiting to see if any of my guests know the difference.The tree is definitely full, which I like but I'm already stressing about how/where it will be stored. Still, I'm glad we made the move to a fake tree, it's perfectly symmetrical, won't wilt over time and is BETTER for the planet. Highly recommended! Merry Christmas, everyone!

Beautiful, excellent quality. Looks like a real Christmas tree. I had a lot of compliments. Love it

I got this National Tree Christmas tree to replace another from the same brand that was 15 years old. It falls into the company's "pre-lit" line and not the Power Connect one, the last of which is probably more reliable. (More on that later.) The tree comes in three pieces with branches that fall outward and down when released from their ribbons. While this one is not quite as realistic-looking as my old one, it looks attractive and, from across the room, real now that I've shaped and decorated it. Usually I prefer artificial spruce trees, but I couldn't pass up a sale on this long-needled Carolina Spruce. I knew the company, and I had confidence in it.I love that the white lights are strung along the length of the branches, giving it the proper inside-out glow that gives the tree depth. Each of the three sections plugs into an outlet box so that they light together when the power cord is plugged into an outlet. There's an extra outlet near the top for a lighted tree topper. When you first take it out of the box, expect a straggly looking thing that will make you wonder why you bought it. Don't despair. It needs to be properly shaped for an attractive look. National Tree even provides a link to a video on how to do it that should be helpful for those who've never done it before. At the end of the season, don't expect to be able to fit the tree back in the box it came in. Even pushing the branches back together won't get it compact enough. We use two Christmas tree storage bags so that we don't stress the light strands too much when we store it. You don't want to break a light strand since they are nearly impossible to remove from the tree.I should note that this tree is a secondary tree in my house, and I don't consider it as beautiful as my primary tree on the main floor of my house. That's because I'm particular when it comes to artificial Christmas trees, and I spent a lot to get a first-rate artificial tree. Still, this tree would have made me happy if I hadn't had the other. My main tree (another brand) is 9 feet tall, and its lights connect by merely putting the "trunk" together, which is probably National Tree's "PowerConnect" line. Not only is that more convenient, but also seems to make the light strands less likely to break. The whole reason I replaced my old National Tree spruce is because the lights eventually stopped working, and I got tired of hanging separate strands on it every year. You might want to investigate National Tree's PowerConnect line if you want the added convenience.Based on my past experience with a tree from this company, this Carolina Pine should last 8-10 years, possibly longer. The tree holds up fine. It's the pre-lit portion that fails. It comes with replacement bulbs for those that burn out, but if a strand breaks on the inside, you'll be out of luck. Mine burned out in sections after it was decorated, suggesting that a possible power surge blew it. You might want to use a surge protector to lengthen its life.Whatever the selling price, compare the cost of this tree to buying real ones every year. You'll likely discover that this will pay for itself in 5 years or less. Add in the convenience of being able to put up your tree whenever you want, and I find it a no-brainer.-- Debbie Lee Wesselmann
