I have always been a real Christmas Tree type of person. When my husband mentioned getting a artificial one I just laughed and said “hell no”. I love the look, smell, and all around vibe that a tree gives off and I didn’t think an artificial one could compare. Then last year I started contemplating getting an artificial tree. I always forget to water the tree and I hate all the needles on the floor. So this year I finally cracked and told my husband we would get an artificial one…
Picking our tree was a piece of cake and the best part is not having to walk around a tree lot looking for the perfect tree, or finding the “perfect tree” and finding out it has a huge bald spot or some other flaw. While I’ll miss the time we use to spend as a family picking out a tree, I am excited with the ease having an artificial tree will bring. Hammacher Schlemmer had a wide variety of trees in different sizes and types to choose from and shipping was quick.
We ended up picking The World’s Best Prelit Noble Fir (6.5′ Slim) tree from Hammacher Schlemmer. I’ve always been a Noble Fir fan and the tree looked like the real deal. The tree arrived in a huge box and I was able to put it together in just a few minute. I think the most work was spreading the branches out, but even then it only took a few minutes. The tree is absolutely beautiful and looks like a real tree. I am so impressed with it. I was worried it would look plastic or extra fake, but it doesn’t. The branches and needles look like the real thing, but without the mess or possibility of dying. There was no huge mess to clean up after putting it together and I don’t have to worry about watering it. The tree is also very sturdy and holds heavy ornaments with ease. No weighed down branches or ornaments falling off the tree.
The lights are bright and beautiful. I went with the white light and am so glad I did. They give a nice glow to the tree and illuminate the room. Plus, we will have a tree for MANY years to come. I can tell this tree will last for a long time since it’s such great quality and sturdy. The tree is “slim”, but to me it looks like a regular tree for it’s size. It’s not too big and not too small, it’s the perfect size for our home.
It is the only tree with three-dimensional, injection-molded branch tips that replicate the exact growth patterns, curved, prickly needles, and branch silhouettes of a freshly cut Noble Fir. The World’s Best Prelit Noble Fir tree has more incandescent lights than typical trees. The lights produce a traditional warm glow, and if a bulb is broken or burns out, patented technology ensures that the rest of the strand remains illuminated

Last year was the first year we had it and it's been in storage since we took it down last year, but I love the tree. You couldn't tell it was artificial and it seems to be really great quality.

I've never had a real tree, always artificial. I love the no mess and ease of getting it set up, but I think I might have to go with real sometime in the next year or two, just to give it a try.

Very pretty. Artificial trees today are SO lifelike. I like them because you don't have the mess of live ones
