Vickerman 3 Foot Pre-Lit Cashmere Pine Artificial Christmas Tree with Clear Dura-Lit® Lights - Flocked Faux Holiday Tree for Living Room, Bedroom & Office Decor - Indoor Christmas Decorations for Home & Party

THIS IS AN ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS LITTLE TREE. IT COMES IN A GREAT POT SO IT IS NOT TOP HEAVY.Very beautiful tree for the price. there were a couple of lean or bald areas that I had to work more with to fill in, but overall this tree with the varied greenery is really nice.What forestry-challenged individual decided to insert the branches from three different colored and textured species of conifer into this little wonder of Christmas? If this tree fell on your doorstep, would it make you sound off? I think so. You'd never find one like it in the forest. It's a weird little hybrid of sorts with lots of branches from different trees, scotch pine, douglas fir and spruce, I think would be accurate. I would suggest to the reader that, although not psychic, this buyer has the distinct impression that the manufacturer had numerous different branch remnants of the larger Christmas trees it sells on the shop floor, decided not to waste them and rolled them into a bunch of little trees, one of which is in my office right now. I've been balanced-challenged for quite some time here trying to make it look right but can't because some of the branches are white-tipped, fat and fluffy and obstruct the lights, some lighter green, short and small, some darker green and long, all of which are of different texture but actually good needle quality. I guess I was expecting too much thinking I'd get all one species of Christmas tree instead of an imbalanced Scotch-Doug-Spruce thingy. What in the universe? It looks okay and is a definite Christmas conversation piece. I'm too tired and lazy to send it back for just the office tree. Get one for your boss! I am the boss and won't be fired. I now know what is meant by "cashmere pine" which didn't exist until now in my vocabulary, but disclosure would have been more honest and appreciated. Ho, ho, hope this was helpful.It's larger than I had anticipated, and once spread out, makes an awesome little tree. The lights are just perfect, both in placement and density, but also in colors....just a basic, humble set colors that evokes memories of simpler times.Everyone who visited this Christmas commented on how nice the tree looked. They all thought it was real. A bit of work to "fluff up" all the branches, but well worth the effort.Looks very good. Just the perfect size for my granddaughters to decorate. May be able to accommodate a few more lightsNice, full tree. The different types of foliage add to its appeal. It's easy to adjust to fill gaps between branches, which are strong enough to hold ornaments nicely. The pine branches do shed a bit, as they are just bent wire affixed to the branch, though that has been minimal. Nice, sturdy tree overall. Very happy with it.Tree arrived on time. Once we took it out of the box, we quickly realized the tree was awful. The strings of lights were very tightly wrapped and tied around several branches at a time so that the branches could not be separated and fanned out in any kind of a symmetrical fashion. This caused the tree to have giant holes and to be completely lopsided. This is a pre-lit tree so the lights can't really be removed and restrung. And even if they could I wouldn't be inclines to spend hours doing it. It's as if the person who strung the lights on this tree did it on purpose so the tree would be useless. Disgruntled employee maybe or just shoddy manufacturing? I don't know but I do know that 2 days before Christmas we have no tree and that is terribly inconvenient and very disappointing for us and the kids. Completely disappointed with this tree. I'll never buy a Vickerman tree again.
