National Tree Company Feel Real 7.5' Artificial Prelit Christmas Tree w/ Lights

I've resisted getting an artificial tree for years since I couldn't stand the thought if giving yo a real tree for a plasticity one, but I want willing to pay $1000 for the only artificial trees I'd ever seen that came close to real. I have collected Christmas ornaments for 35 years, and the tree is the most important decoration in our house. My family finally talked me into trying one, so after reading reviews, ordered this one. It's beautiful! You can't tell, after proper set up, that it isn't real.

After 23 Christmases together, we decided to buy our first artificial tree. We've always liked the tradition and smell of real trees. However, in advancing age I was tiring of finding and hauling a tree, disposing of it afterwards, getting it in and out of the door, putting on the lights (sap and pokey needles), and have sap drip. The final straw was the price of a real tree at this height. I did a lot of research on this tree, and I was concerned about the fullness most of all. What sold this tree was the video on hayneedle.com's site, showing the fluffing instructions and the real before and after. We are very pleased with our National Tree product. After fluffing it looks fantastic! With my wife and I both fluffing, it took less than 30 mins to set up the tree from start to finish (7.5 foot model). If you are looking for a quality artificial tree, from someone who is very pleased and previously only had real trees, I recommend this tree and this brand. The only thing it cannot replicate is the smell, but scent sticks and fresh garland have solved those issues!
