National Tree Company 7.5ft Pre-Lit Carolina Pine Artificial Christmas Tree

I saw a tree exactly like this at Bronner’s Christmas Wonderland for $750! I fell in love with it but could not stomach the price. What drew me was the fullness and different mix of branches that sets it apart from other artificial pre-lit trees so I started to look for the same but less expensive tree. I looked in stores and online and only able to find online but again the price was crazy until I saw it on Amazon for such a great price! I should have just looked on Amazon from the beginning and saved myself time and effort. I was very uncomfortable purchasing on line without actually seeing the tree on display in person. However there was only 3 left and I took a chance. The tree is absolutely beautiful and looks just like the $750 tree I saw at Bronner’s Christmas Wonderland. My 16 year old son even commented on how much he really liked this tree which is not something he would normally comment about. It is a very big and heavy tree that comes in three pieces and I do not have great upper body strength so I needed help to put the pieces together. However assembly was very easy and quick. I did initially have an issue with some of the lights not working but they seemed to fix themselves when I luckily must have wiggled the right branch. I never had the issue again whenever I turned on the lights over about a month or so span and I hope that this will not be an ongoing issue. We have had issues with our tree that we have had for over 20 years so we have become experts at trouble shooting and getting lights to work and since we love this tree so much, we will keep it. There is also a 2 year warranty so we could return if we should change our mind.

I loved our old artificial tree...had it 13 years. So when I started shopping for a new one, I had no idea how difficult it would be to find a tree that was not only realistic but also affordable. I would normally NEVER purchase a tree online, site unseen as the ones I've looked at look fake and expensive But after an exhaustive search of every store in town, I found this one on Amazon and I'm very glad I did. First off, it arrived 4 days after it was supposed to be here. Not a big deal as it was the week before Thanksgiving when I ordered it. But something to keep in mind if its a last minute order. The box arrived very damaged but the tree was in perfect condition. Assembly is extremely easy. Fanning the tree out and separating branches took awhile. Each branch is hinged at the "trunk" which will make it easier to take apart and pack away. Our old tree was a disaster to try to pack away after the holidays. I think this one will be much better and should fit in most types of tree storage containers. After putting together, it still needed a little work with the branches to fill in the less dense areas. But after setting it up and even before decorating it, I knew it was a keeper. It is the closest thing I have found to our old tree. The pine cones add to the effect and it really is pretty. I would highly recommend it, especially for the price. Can't go wrong. I'm attaching some photos. As you can see, there are a few areas prior to decorating that needed a little more work. However, the photo of it decorated (well almost completely decorated) you can see it filled in very nicely. Once all the ornaments are on and the tree skirt is in place, it will look fantastic. I'm really happy with this purchase.

I bought an artificial tree 2 years ago and returned it because I was very disappointed. Last year I purchased a real tree which was gorgeous. It was a bit pricey and unfortunately dried out before Christmas, despite my constant monitoring of the water level. I couldn't find a decent replacement just 5 days prior to Christmas, so we ended up without a tree on Christmas day. Big bummer. I decided to give the artificial tree another try this year. I did a fair amount of research and read a lot of reviews before deciding on this tree. I have 4 of 5 stars on easy to assemble, just because the ad says it takes an hour to assemble. But it took me about 4.5 hours to assemble and fan out all the branches. It was definitely worth it!!! The tree is very full and doesn't have big gaps like the artificial tree I bought a couple years ago. It is very pretty and realistic looking. The lights are evenly distributed, I didn't have to mess with them after fanning out the branches. It feels very sturdy and of very good quality. If I had to choose again, I'd purchase this tree every time. Now I just need some of those pine scented ornaments so it will have that oh so wonderful smell of a fresh cut fir!

I recently purchased the National Tree Company 'Feel Real' Pre-lit Artificial Christmas Tree in the Carolina Pine style, and overall, it has been a delightful addition to our holiday festivities, deserving of a 4-star rating. While the tree itself is impressive, I encountered a minor issue with a fuse that impacted the pre-strung white lights. Pros: Realistic Appearance: The 'Feel Real' technology truly lives up to its name. The branches and needles mimic the look and feel of a natural pine tree, providing an authentic and festive atmosphere. Generous Height and Flocking: The 9 ft height is perfect for creating a grand and majestic holiday display. The addition of flocking and cones adds a charming touch, making the tree look like it was just brought in from a winter wonderland. Convenient Pre-lit Feature: The pre-strung white lights are a time-saving convenience, evenly distributed throughout the tree. This feature enhances the overall aesthetic and eliminates the need for external string lights. Sturdy Build: The tree's construction is sturdy and well-designed. Assembly is relatively straightforward, and the branches hold ornaments securely without sagging. Cons: Pre-lit Lights: Most artificial trees have the wiring done inside the pole (connecting sections to each other). For this tree it's as if you added the lights on it. Fuse Issue: I encountered a problem with one of the fuses in 1 section of the lights on the tree. I removed and reinstalled the same fuse and it started working but it took me more than an hour to fix since at first I thought it was one of the bulbs that was causing the issue. Final Thoughts: The National Tree Company Carolina Pine is a beautiful and realistic artificial Christmas tree that brings the holiday spirit to life. The tree's overall appearance, height, flocking, and sturdiness make it a wonderful choice for those seeking a festive centerpiece for their holiday celebrations. With the fuse issue addressed, it earns a solid 4-star rating.

I love this tree! I am a “buddy the elf” Christmas personality, want to start decorating for Christmas right after Halloween and just absolutely love all things Christmas and especially the tree! Growing up in WI, we had only real trees and they were always tall, full and so beautiful! However I live in CA now with my family and it’s much warmer and the sun is out in winter so we decided on a fake tree, but I wanted something that could imitate the real tree look. I think this tree does that so well! It came with a sturdy metal base. Each section is labeled and comes with the lights plugged and taped so neatly which helps it hide in the tree well. As with any artificial tree it takes some time to “fluff” but it’s so worth it! I love how well it fluffed out. It has a great shape! There is a great mixture of different texture branches and needles that make it look real! The bottom and middle sections have regular single support branches and then on every other support branch it then branches out into three sections each with different textured needles and can be adjusted. I don’t feel I’m explaining it well but hope my pictures can help. I also love the pinecones, they add a great touch! I did have one fall off during assembly but it went back on easily. I am a little worried about how they will be when we put the tree away but we will see. We purchased a tree bag to store it in when it comes time, so we hope it will stay in good shape for years to come! But it really is beautiful both day and night! Worth every penny!

Absolutely beautiful! This is one of the most realistic looking fake trees I've ever seen. Last year our old tree's lights went out in the middle section, so I knew I would need a new tree this year. We got our old tree from another store two years ago. It was not the same brand as this tree here. Our old tree promised to last 5 years, but after only two, the lights stopped working in random sections of the tree and the needles were starting to look well worn. I wasn't interested in wasting money on another tree like that. I wanted a GOOD tree, one that would remind me of a real tree but without the constant loss of pine needles. I also didn't want to have to worry about bulbs going out so I looked at trees with and without lights. After nearly three months of searching, I bought this one. I just fell in love with the pine cones and the fact that even the photos of this tree reminded me of the pine trees back home in Charlotte, NC. When the box arrived, I was a bit skeptical. It was a large box, but it just didn't look like it could hold a nice, full, 6.5 foot tree. The tree was incredibly easy to assemble. The limbs and branches will need to be fluffed a bit but they are easy to figure out and arrange so that you don't have any gaps. The lights are a soft yellow light, which I love. Each pine cone has a sprinkling of white on it to make them look lightly dusted with snow. The overall affect is gorgeous. I am completely satisfied with this tree. The only two cons I have with this tree are: 1. It doesn't have that great winter pine smell. But I can buy candles for that! 2. It doesn't come with a box or bag to put it away in. There is no way it will fit back into the box it was shipped in. I will have to purchase a storage case/box/bag for this tree separately. Other than that this is the perfect tree for our holidays. Oh and bonus, if one light goes out on this tree, the rest of the tree stays lit. No more worrying about losing an entire section due to a single bulb!

I come home from work to find the large box waiting for me...2 days with prime shipping, which was great. That was the last I was happy about this. I get out the 3 sections, out tree together and begin opening/separating all the branches. The first thing I notice was a couple of branches that seemed to be hanging quite a bit lower then the others...sort of like the branches had been bent or something/hinges not the same as the others) Opening the branches was very time consuming(2 hrs) which I did expect to spend on it. Unfortunately, I plug in the 3 sections, and stand back to look at it, and some of the lights were not on in section 2. I check to make sure everything is plugged in, but still strand out. The lights/wires are attached to the branches, unlike when you add on a strand and just kind of wrap it lightly, and I purchased a pre-lit tree, and quite honestly, I expect to have one that works fully for the price. I call Amazon and explain the problem. They can ship out a replacement, but it won't get here for 3 days he says...unfortunately, I had off today & tomorrow for the holiday and had planned to do all of my decorating as I'll be having a party and then going on vacation, but guess I don't have any choice. Now the problem is that I have to spend another 1-2 hrs to close up all the branches again and get it all back in the box to be shipped back...so now that's 3-4 hrs of work on this tree, and a 3 day delay for me(he then suggests maybe contacting the manufacturer and maybe they can send me replacement branches and lights...um, and then what...I cut away the original lights and restring, and how exactly am I supposed to remove the hinged branches and replace them...oh, and all that and still pay the same price as what a perfect one should have been? No thanks, I'd have to be crazy to go through all that...point of getting this tree was to have one I can just plug in and be ready) . I ask if they can have it picked up as this box is quite large and heavy...he says he'll schedule a pick up but they will be coming the next day(Thanksgiving)...but I won't be home as I am going to my sisters for the holiday (and also means I would now have to start packaging it all back up again now, which trust me, I have no desire to do right now after spending 2 hours opening it all up). I find it ironic that my replacement tree, which he made a point of telling me several times was being shipped expedited, can't arrive till Sat (3 days a way, presumably due to the holiday), yet the same UPS can come on the holiday to pick up the defective one. I say that I won't be home Thanksgiving or Friday and can we schedule for Monday and I am told no. It automatically is to be the next day. He says they'll attempt 3 times to get...but I already know I won't be there for the 1st two, and I have to work Mon. I ask if I can have a time window...he says 9a-4p or 9a-5p. The instructions sent to me says an adult must be home/present for the pickup, but he says well just leave it outside with a note on it (and if someone were to steal the package, then what...I'm out $300?) I was put on hold over and over again...it sounded like a call center in India and at this point, I am quite frustrated over the whole situation (which usually, I am thrilled with Amazon and do a ton of shopping with). He makes a point of telling me a couple times how they're replacing it for free (really, I should hope so!), and expediting it (again, I have Prime) and I say...and I'm paying the same amount of money for having been incredibly inconvenienced. Two hours of my time, setting it up...now another 2 hrs probably to get all the branches closed up, and the item packed back in bow good enough to ship back, and now 3 day delay in having my item and they should discount it some, not be like thinking I should be happy that they're replacing it for free. After much issue with that going back and forth, he finally says they'll do 15% (honestly, the $40 is not worth all the hours and delay but this was going no where and I couldn't spend any more time on the line). He says can't I get someone to help me pack it up and get ti to a shipping location when I go to work (uh, no, guess I'm going to have a fun time with that as it's very heavy & I live half an hour each way from the that location), but finally I just say fine, I'll deal with it as I had now been on the phone for 1 hour and 12 minutes!!! He says he'll send me the shipping label for me to use. Email comes, use the link, and it's for a pickup at my house saying I must be home.when they arrive, ugh. Ok, let's try that again(yay, correct one comes, now I just have to spend a ton of time to get this packaged back up, somehow get it out to my car, and drive to UPS. I have never once complained or made an issue about a product ever...usually I am the complete opposite, and I have never written a scathing review, but my patience was tested way too much with this. And btw...my tree does not resemble the pics shown for the product...no where near as full at all.

I absolutely LOVE this tree! We have finally moved from a real tree to artificial after 33 years of marriage as our kids are grown and it’s just too much work for the two of us. This year we got our last one. I got this one for next year and set it up in our basement to see what it looks like. I think I’ll keep it up through the holidays because it’s so pretty even though it’s a bit tall for the space. I researched the number of tips, quality, brightness & bulb count. This one lives up to the reviews. It’s lovely. I will probably add my own string of twinkling warm white lights as I like that on a tree. The lights are already quite bright thought and warm not cool. I wanted some light flocking but even though this doesn’t have it, there is variation in the coloring which gives it visual interest. I’m so glad we decided to go with this one! Love, love, love it!!!

Quick delivery. The tree is beautiful. I have put off a artificial tree as I didn’t care for them, this one is really nice; with or without decorations.

Pictures don’t do it justice.

Love this tree!
