It comes folded so you know its nice from the beginning. After unfolding I added tree decorations and then I noticed every branch needed it's smaller branches unfolded which took another 30 minutes.I have had a lot of fake trees in my lifetime and this is the best. Realistic, Strong, and full.I look around for a while and finally bought this... because it will make a great Christmas tree or a tree in a corner were no sunlight makes it impossible to get lite. I like the 30 inch... the size of a large plant.

Very uneven

Loved the heavy base on this tree because I did not want it tipping over and break antique ornaments. Great packaging and I saved the box to store for next year.

I hesitated to buy this tree after reading reviews that said it leaned, and that the middle branch was crooked. Sure enough, it is crooked- but only very slightly. I remedied this issue by putting the tree in a primitive bowl and tucking crumpled paper around the burlap base to offset the leaning. Worked like a charm. Then I put Spanish moss in the bowl to cover up the paper. I have to say, this is the prettiest little tabletop tree I've ever bought online... and I have many! It takes minimal fussing to fluff up the branches. It's very full and realistic in the end. I plan on putting fairy lights on it with floral wire. Don't hesitate to buy this. If you're willing to put ten minutes of love into it, the results are stellar!

Absolutely love it! Exactly what I was looking for!

The tree was not standing straight. We straightened the base by filling the base with industrial glue. I used my previous tree for 5 years. I wanted to buy a tree that lasts for years but I may buy a new tree next year. This solution we found will not last long. Such a nice tree wasted for cement not being poured properly.

This sturdy little tree exceeded my expectations. I was going to add a small string of lights and place it on an outside table to complete my Christmas decorations but, it's so pretty that I'm keeping it inside instead. Keep in mind however, that it's not straight out of the box ready and requires LOTS of fluffing. There are many many delicate branches that need to be pulled down and carefully separated (I spent about a half hour). Another thing is that the diameter of the lowest branches is about 16 inches (more than 12) from tip to tip. I measured with a yardstick. This is a beautiful, realistic looking tree and a terrific value. I think the problem that some are having involves the amount of fluffing involved. Just be aware of this. You won't be sorry.I love this tree!

This tree won't stand up on its own, so I had to prop it up in a bucket.

We may keep tree or we may not. It is the look I wanted, BUT YOU MUST ARRANGE EVERY SINGLE BRANCH! IT arrives smashed in the box. Yes I don't fear them breaking off but it will be a daunting task for seventy something me. ALSO the base is not stable. It tips very easily. Maybe some florists putty could help.? Still not sure if keeping or not. We have yet to decide. I thought this would be the one. It really needs a stand. It is OVERPRICED considering the labor involved.

Nice, sturdy base. Takes a bit of time arranging the branches, but they are easy to work with, and have minimal shedding. Very substantial full tree. Life like appearance.

Play some Christmas Music, start at the bottom and fluff the branches one by one. It was pretty easy. I used rechargeable mini fairy lights and my Hallmark mini ornaments as decorations.

I wasnt up to a full sized tree this year so I thought this was perfect. I love it!!

5.0 out of 5 stars

Arrived quickly, going to take some work to get the branches fixed. Not very sturdy so have to use a bucket or something to secure it.

Was looking for something inexpensive to use as a display for crafts at a craft fair. This fits the need perfectly. Very secure on the base and the branches are sturdy enough to hold various weights of crafts. Granted, I'm not the most artistic when it comes to setting up displays, but at least it gets the items up and visible. The only problem that I have not yet fixed is that the tree leans. I have not messed with it yet; it is firmly in its burlap holder so I would need to carefully take it apart to fix it. Then again, I may not! It can be just as quirky as I am!

I was looking for a little green tree for a corner in my bedroom since it's dark now for daylight savings time. I like keeping it up so it adds some sparkle with the lights during the dark winter months. I settled on the 42” tree and it looks pretty realistic for a fake tree but it is much smaller than I expected for the price. I added a set of 100 mini lights. The biggest downsides are the size and the price, as mentioned before, and that I wish it was a little more symmetrical. There are places in the middle where the branches could be thicker and longer so it was more balanced from top to bottom. The weighted base is fine and it is sturdy. There are more attached pine cones on the top rather than equally distributed all over the tree. If you are interested in adding miniature ornaments, it has enough space between branches to do so. It came in a skinny brown box and took about an hour to pull out each branch, starting at the base and straightening each individual twig. The tips of the branches have visible looped wire so I twisted one green sprout through each end so they would be less visible. Overall, it's a cute tree and fits the spot I intended it for.

It looks much nicer in the picture than when you actually get it

Love it cutest little realistic tree

This is actually the best tree for this size I've ever seen. The base is weighted and sturdy, the burlap is carefully wrapped and secured, the tree has many branches which feel substantial but are easily shaped. The quality is just superb, and the rustic look with the skinny branches and tiny p8ne cones is spot on. Could not be more pleased and am thinking about getting the 36” one also.

Love these little Christmas trees!
