Branches could do with some greenery over the wires as greenary not thick enough to hide the wires. Not as bushy as shown in the pictures but beautiful even without any baubles.
There are ample lights and some realistic looking fake acorns, giving a beautiful minimalist and festive look.
I look forward to using this tree for many Christmases to come.
I am absolutely delighted with this tree, it’s stunning. I would highly recommend, takes a bit of time to pull out branches but totally worth it. Plenty of lights no need to add any more. Very easy to put together. Delighted with this purchase.
Arrived a day early. Quite easy to put together. The tree is in three sections, no tools were needed. We are pleased with this purchase. We just added a few silver, bronze and green baubles and it looks quite good…especially for the price.
There is nothing i don’t like about this tree. Took a little while to open branches but well worth it. When turned lights on took my breath away. Well worth every penny. Fully recommend it. Thank you Amazo
Assembly: the tree comes in 3 parts + 4-way stand as per usual. You attach the parts and then start working on spr4eading the branches about. This part is crucial, as depending on how well you spread them, the tree will look more or less full when done. The important part is to remember to spread all of the branches available, including the inner ones that you might think won’t be seen from the outside. This is incorrect, ebcause these inner branches contribute a lot to the overall see-through level of the tree and fill out the empty space on the inside.
When assembled (bare tree): the tree has a very nice conical shape and fills in well. Be advised though, even with all the branches spread out optimally, there are still some gaps where you can see to the other side. These are small though and the tree looks very well indeed.
Lights: the lights included power through a mains plug. They are warm white in colour (the white ones in the photo attached, the orange ones come from additional lights put on later) and the quantity is reasonable. NOwhere near enough for me though, since I love lights haha. The effect you see on the pic was after adding an additional 350 RGB lights on.
Branches: there’s two types present: the standard lower quality needles (like you see on normal cheaper trees) throughout on the inner branch parts + the trunk. And then the outer parts show high quality, firmer needles that look very nice indeed. There’s also a lot of cones attached throughtout – I’m not 100% certain but I suspect these are real and just glued on or something. Look very, very nice!
Overall: very pleased, just not as full as the pics lead you to believe. Got it at reduced price of 89GBP and I think it was worth it as I can see this tree serving us for a good few years.
I liked that it was easy to assemble, I love that the branches are full and easy to fluff and the built in lights are great. However only disappointing thing is you can’t choose a what light setting you want it to stay on, you only have the option of keeping it on the still lights.
Arrived next day , easy to set up and looks stunning , built in lights are a real bonus with this pre lit tree , no cables to worry about ! Once fluffed up the tree is nice & full even better with Xmas baubles on !
Good sized tree that looks quite authentic. Very easy to assemble however, be careful with placement once erected.
Moved the tree about twice and the lights stopped working (guessing loose wire). Ended up cutting the lights off and buying some lights to wrap around the tree.
No biggie really just mildly annoying with a new tree.
This tree is absolutely stunning dressed and undressed the shape is exactly how I wanted it to be so so pleased I purchased it, easy to assemble built in lights andcwell worth the money .
The tree isn’t all the harder plastic branches I expected, although it doesn’t deter from it. Once dressed it simply ‘filled’ any holes.
Would have liked the acorns to be seperate to add into the places I’d like them to be. Nice tree though
This tree was easy to construct and looks very good with the lights. The branches are easy to separate to make the tree look bushy and the shape is very similar to a real tree. I am very pleased with this purchase.
It’s not as full as the images appear. I’ve tried fiddling with the branches to make it appear fuller but no luck. Would benefit from now adding extra garland to get it looking full. I wouldn’t say it’s particularly good value for money when I’ve found nicer in the shops for less but I suppose that’s the risk when buying online.
The realistic bits are literally only on the tip. This would be a good tree if it was around the 60-75 mark rather than 150-180 that it’s on here for.
Assembled in about an hour without mulled wine. Would’ve taken longer with mulled wine.
If you buy a wicker tree skirt with this tree (6ft one) you’ll need a 70cm diameter skirt as the base sits at 62cm (found this out after buying a 60cm one and then had to go and get another one!)
Let’s start with negatives
– it’s heavy, I struggled alone but still did it.
– lights are on a lead and pre wrapped around each of the 3 individual pieces.
– a little fiddly when it came to spreading out where the light wrap in.
– would be great to have multi coloured lights.
– took me 2.5 hours to fully set it up. Then I’d forgotten the skirt. Next year hey.
Positives
+ it’s so flexible and really fills out.
+ no need to spend hours detangling lights and unwrapping for next year.
+ very pretty, especially with the pinecones.
+ I feel I got my moneys worth
+ different light settings.
+ the tip has a light. I could never get that bit right.
Tips
*make sure you have all the pieces fitted in the same direction as they have individual connectors to the main source.
The tree came quickly but disappointed to find the transformer was nowhere to be found in the box. Contacting the seller via Amazon one was quickly sent to me and the lights now work well. Only criticism is that the tree is very heavy and will be a difficult job to get it up into the loft after Xmas.
It’s a gorgeous Christmas tree, with really soothing lights and its the perfect height for our room.
In all honesty, my partner is difficult to please with things like this, but she (and I) absolutely love it.
