It's not super full but it is prelit and it looks good in my living room.

We're going to get a 9ft, but I haven't placed the order just yet - ugh so expensive! @lawbee11: what brand is your tree? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-artificial-tree#post-1964414 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 11:22:45 +0000 lawbee11 1964414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We splurged and got a pricey one knowing that we'd use it for many years. We got it at a local garden center (which is also why it was on the more expensive side). It's 9 ft and pre-lit. It came with a 10-year warranty for lights which is awesome. Most of the trees sold at the big box stores either come with no warranty or one that's only good for a couple of years. </p> <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: For 12 ft ceilings I'd go with a 9 ft tree. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-artificial-tree#post-1964411 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 11:17:04 +0000 blackbird 1964411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a used one off craigslist that has worked well for us. I like to do my own lights but it's big and full and an elderly couple was upgrading to a prelit </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-artificial-tree#post-1964344 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 10:04:24 +0000 chopsuey 1964344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: if your 7.5 ft looks big in the room Id keep it, For 12' ceilings I would do a 9 though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-artificial-tree#post-1964310 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 09:35:19 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1964310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: our ceilings are 12 ft, we just bought a 7.5 ft...now I'm thinking a 9 ft would be better. The 7.5 seems massive already though. Ugh- what to do?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-artificial-tree#post-1964222 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 03:58:52 +0000 wonderstruck 1964222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shutterbug: Whoa, crazy good deal! Sold out online, dang it, but I'll have to see if any of the local stores have it. I've been eyeing $200 trees and DH has been saying that's crazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-artificial-tree#post-1964200 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 01:10:09 +0000 Mrs.Panda 1964200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shutterbug: wow!

I think it looks a lot like our local trees! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-artificial-tree#post-1964183 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 00:09:54 +0000 Shutterbug 1964183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just got this one yesterday, it's on sale for $79. I've also never had a fake tree and I wanted it to look as real as possible. It looks pretty convincing (texted a pic to my mom and she thought we cut our own). Plus, it has LED lights, and a remote so you can switch from clear to colored lights. <a href="http://m.homedepot.com/p/Martha-Stewart-Living-7-5-ft-Pre-Lit-LED-Downswept-Dennison-Spruce-Quick-Set-Artificial-Christmas-Tree-with-Clear-and-Multi-Color-Lights-DOU186755LEDCMR/205080457" rel="nofollow">http://m.homedepot.com/p/Martha-Stewart-Living-7-5-ft-Pre-Lit-LED-Downswept-Dennison-Spruce-Quick-Set-Artificial-Christmas-Tree-with-Clear-and-Multi-Color-Lights-DOU186755LEDCMR/205080457</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-artificial-tree#post-1964178 Sat, 29 Nov 2014 23:35:43 +0000 chopsuey 1964178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got this one last year.

Growing up in a family that always had a real tree, I have zero clue about them, so tell me about yours! Where is it from? How long have you had it? Anything you wish you'd done differently when picking it out? Is there anything in particular that I should look for? </p> <p>I want to keep it reasonably priced, but am also keeping in mind that normally I spend about $70 every year for a real tree (because I'm picky and also like to support our local farms for them) whereas this is a one-time purchase for the next however many years. I really want something that looks as real as it can (without, you know, actually being real, haha!) </p>
