National Tree 10 Foot Dunhill Fir Tree with 1200 Clear Lights, Hinged (DUH-100LO-S)

Every Christmas we used to go out and spend $600-$900 on an 11-13ft tree. It was a waste of money and a real hassle of paying the delivery fee.We decided 2021 that we would purchase an artificial tree. We did our research on Amazon and came across this tree. National Tree Company Pre-Lit Artificial Full Christmas Tree, Green, Dunhill Fir, White Lights, Includes Stand, 12 Feet. There were not many reviews, but the pictures of the reviewers’ trees were nice and the tree came with a stand. We bought it and the rest is history.Once the tree is assembled it is massive. Having the lights pre-installed is a significant bonus. That is one of the best things about the tree is not having to wrap the tree with lights.**Setup**I’ve owned this tree for four years since I purchased it in 2021. As two women who are both 5'2", setting it up for the first time was quite a challenge, even with a tall ladder. However, we have made effective adjustments to simplify the process.When it was time to store the tree, to make it easier for the following years, we labeled its five pieces with blue tape (i.e., Bottom (5), 4, 3, 2, Top). To streamline the setup, we attached the top piece to number 2. We also wrapped the remaining four big pieces with bungee cords to keep the branches together, ensuring an easier installation.The following year, when we took out the tree, we immediately set up the stand. We started with the bottom piece, fluffed it out, and plugged it in to ensure all the lights were functioning. After that, we connected piece 4 to piece 5 and checked the lights again before attaching piece 3 to piece 4, so on and so forth. Because of our height, one of us stood on the ladder while the other handed up the tree.I strongly recommend having a taller and stronger person to assist; it would make the entire process much easier! 😊Overall, due to our high ceilings, I believe the tree was a great choice. It looks stunning in our living room. We've received numerous compliments on the tree, and our guests love taking pictures next to it.

After a hefty debate with my husband of a real tree vs. a fake one we finally took the plunge and purchased this. I've found over the years that most artificial trees don't have a gray area. They either look really amazing or like garbage so I'll admit I was a little nervous. So here's a couple of recommendations. The manufacturers have included a video on Amazon, which I would encourage you to watch, because it really does help. Even if you don't, the tree is pretty self explanatory and easy to assemble, and plug in to get all the lights to work. The tiny negative is that about 7 lights are out in the middle section and although we tried to fix it we couldn't figure out how, but it wasn't enough to send it back or complain. You can also add more lights if you want to, but honestly it really wasn't a big deal. I've read a few of the negative reviews and let's just be blunt about one thing. If you buy a tree like this and expect it to come out of the box looking perfect go back to dreaming about sugar plum fairies because this bad boy takes some TLC to look like a real tree. That is absolutely not a bad thing at all, because honestly what do you expect? It just boils down't to how much work to want to put into it. We bought the 10 ft. tree so let's just say it was a labor of love, but well worth it because EVERYONE who has walked into our home thinks the tree is real. You really have to reach in to make sure you "fluff" (don't have dirty thoughts, this is Christmas) properly so I would strongly encourage wearing a long sleeve shirt because you will scratch the living daylights out of your arms, and I'm writing this because I didn't take my own advice and now I look like I fell into a rose bush. NOT the fault of the maker. The tree is stunning and it's a worth while investment and you don't have to worry about watering or needles everywhere and the branches are well made and sturdy for larger glass or heirloom ornaments that you don't want to fall off the tree. Totally worth it and it comes a very fair price point compared to other with quality artificial trees that can run you 1,000 dollars or higher.

This tree is a lot of effort to assemble, but if you take your time and make sure all of the branch ends are spread well, it looks amazing. The color and fullness are great. Just reassembled it for it's second Christmas and had no durability issues. Very few needles on the floor afterwards and all of the lights still work. Looking forward to enjoying it for another holiday season.

Easy to put together. Takes a little TLC to fluff the branches—but worth it! We have 14 foot ceilings. This is the 10 foot tree. Our first artificial tree—and I only regret not ordering it sooner!!

The lights only lasts a year or two. I have spent HUNDERDS of dollars trying to replace bulbs but they continue to burn hot and then burn out. Now, even the replacement bulbs they sell don't fit right. Very sad for how much we spent.
