"OasisCraft Christmas Tree 6ft Premium Hinged Blue Spruce, without lights"
This artificial tree arrived via FedEx and very quickly.
Within 2 days of ordering, I had it set up in my living room.
The base is made of metal and very sturdy. The center pole is of hollow tube steel and also sound.
The typical twist-wire branches aren't terribly fancy, but are plentiful and appear both sturdy and maleable.
When assembled, and when the branches are arranged appropriately, this tree looks full and somewhat realistic from accross the room.
Personally, I recommend the version without the lights. This tree promises to last for many Christmases to come; so why sully it's longevity with a string of lights that will probably die and req. replacing 5X over?
Buy this sturdy model plain, and dress it up with a $4 string. Easy peazy.

Overall this is a great tree. We can rested the 7.5 ft one because our ceilings aren't very tall. This is a great size. Bigger than I thought it would be which I was actually happy about. It's sturdy and full at the bottom. It does take some time to put together. Took me almost 2 hours by myself to fan it all out. I made sure to do it correctly and pull every branch out so it was as full as it could be. I like the fact that it is only 3 pieces for the tree so I'm not fighting with individual branches. The only problems I had were some of the branches didn't fall down into place properly and I had to bend them pretty hard and wiggle them to get them into place. Once I did they were fine. Also there were several spots that had the silk threading that is wrapped around the end of the inside of the branches, it was all stretched out and covering the tree needles. I had to cut some off or twist it back down. Not a huge deal but I couldn't leave it like that because it looked like a bunch of green fuzz. Again, not a huge deal because once fixed it looked great. All of the reviews saying this tree isn't full and all that, is because they didn't take the time to fan all the branches out properly. I'm satisfied with this purchase and our tree turned out beautiful. Hopefully it's not too hard to take down then the time comes.

The prelit lights are gorgeous and very full. The limbs are also very full when fanned out. It took about an hour and a half or so for me to finish fluffing them out.
My main issue is the limbs aren't very sturdy and don't hold heavier ornaments very well unfortunately but I could make due. Also, make sure you place your tree where you want it set because it is super heavy when put altogether!
All in all it's a very beautiful tree and a decent buy.

It takes time to fluff, but if you follow the directions it looks GREAT! I'm allergic. My last tree [national] was too thin and looked so fake after taking forever to fluff it's third year. This tree is amazing. I love the tones--each needle is lighter on one, and darker on the other side and not too shiny. The branches have brown tips. It might be too thick for ornaments to dangle all over, but you can adjust that. I love it. I did pull a little branchlet off because I was a little rough with it and pulled too hard. It is well-made and looks great. So pleased. I got the 6.5 ft and it is fine for 8 foot ceilings.

The tree is full and beautiful. But, no matter what I do there are 2 areas that have very little lights. It is from how the lights were placed on the tree. My other issue is 15 yes 15 tips (lil branches) were NOT connected to the leaders. For the price it should not be falling into your hands. Some had the bend but it was still a royal pain to put them together and wrap in pipe cleaners to attach to tree. Disappointed because now I am worried how long it will last. We are in our 60's we were hoping this would be the last tree we purchased.
