National Tree Company Artificial Full Christmas Tree, Green, Dunhill Fir, Includes Stand, 6.5 Feet

This is a great artificial Christmas tree. I scoured the internet for nice unlit trees. Most trees are pre-lit but I wanted my tree to last a long time and the lights don't last as long as the tree. I bought the 9' tall version of this unlit tree, it comes in 4 pieces. It's possible for one person to put the tree up, but to take it apart you really need two people so one person can hold the lower sections down while the other person pulls up. The center pole is very beefy, the stand is too, so I have no concerns about it topling over. As shipped, the tree has a lot of room under the lowest branches, but it's possible to fluff the lowest branches down a bit to reduce that gap if you prefer to have branches closer to the floor. It was unclear from the product listing: this tree does not have the "Feel Real" branch tips. On the bright side, this keeps the weight of the tree down, so it's easier for one person to set it up and move it around, but on the down side it does make the tree look less realistic. This tree doesn't have a tremendous number of branch tips, but it has just enough to look good and hide the center pole from view. I'm a slow tree fluffer, so having more branch tips would not be a win for me.I also bought the Downswept Douglas Fir from the same company (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0045VI3RC). The unlit version of that tree is not available in as many sizes as this tree. However, if you want a 6.5', 7', or 7.5' unlit tree, that's the one to get if you can find one. It does look more realistic than this tree. In my opinion the shape of that tree is a bit nicer as well: it's a bit wider at each height than the Dunhill Fir. However, if you want a taller or shorter tree, a size that's not available in the Downswept Douglas Fir, than this Dunhill fir is a great option.

I wasn't sure about this tree when I opened the box! I'd read other reviews that said to expect to spend a lot of time fluffing it, so I was prepared to do just that. I thought it went faster and was easier than I'd anticipated. It does take a while but I thought it was fun. I intended to start with one section then go to bed and finish in the morning, but I ended up doing all three sections in one late night. Once I started, I couldn't finish! I set the tree up for Christmas 2024. I added my own lights, as there were none on this tree. It was the right height, the right width, and a very nice shape. I don't think I could ever get it back into the box so I didn't even try. I was really pleased with the look and quality! Good price as well.

I am in love. I bought this tree as our first foray into the world of artificial Christmas trees, as I had low expectations. We had shopped in local stores for one, and each one seemed plastic, cheap and not full or realistic at all. The ones that were ALMOST passable were about 3x the cost of this one, and I found that kind of hard to rationalize. I saw this tree, read previous reviews, and did some comparison shopping on other sites for the exact same tree. The price I got here was so unbelievably reasonable that I worried it would be terrible. IT WAS NOT! First of all, the thing weighs 63 pounds! It's not going anywhere. Even the stand was made of quality, heavyweight material, so we were pleased right off. It stayed in the box mostly for almost 3 weeks while we moved furniture around to fit this tree in our living room. But I did take out the very top and fluffed it out a bit. I was impressed --- it was real-looking and very full. Then today, I got to set up the tree, and it is nearly done. I have to fluff about 1/5 of the tree and then it's time to decorate. What I can tell you so far is that this is a very, very full tree. I don't have any spare spots and the branches are heavy duty enough to handle all my ornaments. There are so many tips! It does take some time to fluff and get it looking right, but so far it is perfect. Even hubby loves it, and he is a real-tree only guy. My only recommendation is to definitely wear long sleeves to protect your arms. Gloves are good too but cover from the elbow down to the wrist to avoid scratches like the ones I got today. Even with that, I would highly recommend this tree to anyone. It's amazing and we are so happy with it. Now to get some fresh garland in the house for that smell, and we are ready for the holidays!

This year we opted to avoid the hassle of increasing tree prices, shedding needles and spilt water from the stand. We chose the 6.5 ft tree, set it up easily accordingto the instuctionsIt does require some fluffing and separating the branches to achieve the "full" look. We let the tree rest overnight and decorated it this morning. The tree stand is good but we worried that it might not hold the weight of the decorated tree. We have spunky cats, so we placed two, one gallon bags of sand on each side of the stand, under the tree skirt just for safety. Overall, we are very pleased with the quality and the look of the tree. The price was reasonable, delivery was prompt.
