Just to make sure you like the quality of it--all trees look great from 10 feet away. </p> <p>We finally found our tree at menards--it's a 7.5 footer and isn't pre-lit. I liked it because it had 'real looking' branches on it, instead of just the plastic fray ones that a lot of trees have... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-christmas-tree#post-421249 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 10:19:09 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 421249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awww - thanks everyone!! I'm happy w/ the way it turned out. Who knew a $150 9ft tree could turn out like that? </p> <p>The one they had on display didn't have the branches fluffed out, so it looked really scraggly. I was scared that it would look like that once we got it home, but after an hour of fluffing all the branches, it looked like a nice, full tree. And I put some "Scentsicles" on it so the whole house smells like a real tree :-) Bring on the holidays!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-christmas-tree#post-420974 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 07:42:07 +0000 Smurfette 420974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: Looks great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-christmas-tree#post-420940 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 05:33:02 +0000 sorrycharlie 420940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is beautiful ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-christmas-tree#post-420861 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 02:02:00 +0000 mrsjyw 420861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love your tree!

It looks a lot better than it does on the link.

I wasn't sold on the idea until I got to the bottom and saw how it looked, it's perfect for that space, SERIOUSLY. Throw away the receipt. (ok not really, but you don't NEED it!) it looks awesome (and makes me jealous!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-christmas-tree#post-420574 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 22:08:54 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 420574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok here it is! It's super bright! It needs some more ornaments but other than that, what do you think? What else should I add? Does it fit in the space?</p> <p>[attach=1632/12/me8bev.338x600.IMAG1076.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-christmas-tree#post-419695 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 15:18:42 +0000 chopsuey 419695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: yep! keep your receipt and ask what their return policy is! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-christmas-tree#post-419693 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 15:17:36 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 419693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen, @chopsuey119: I like the full trees, too, which is why I'm not sure about getting the skinny one, but I don't think a full 9 ft tree would even fit in that space. I guess I could always get another one later if I change my mind, right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-christmas-tree#post-419679 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 15:13:40 +0000 MrsTiz 419679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: Okay, seeing that now a skinny tree would look great!</p> <p>I think I need a house tour, btw! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-christmas-tree#post-419669 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 15:11:10 +0000 chopsuey 419669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I personally prefer fat trees over tall and skinny. :D<br /> edit: but I agree. I think in the space you have it would look good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-christmas-tree#post-419664 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 15:10:04 +0000 Sammyfab 419664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think a skinny tree would look great in the space! The tree looks nice in the picture but it's hard to tell without seeing it in person, you know? I bought our tree from Walmart 5+ years ago and it's held up well enough :). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-christmas-tree#post-419658 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 15:07:52 +0000 Mrs. Pen 419658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>cute house!! I love your mantel.</p> <p>I think there a skinny tree would look good!</p> <p>I think I prefer fuller trees, but we don't have the space for one either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-christmas-tree#post-419650 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 15:05:27 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 419650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here's a picture of where it would go, using our old tree. (Sorry for the bad visual - we've painted over the blue since then and the old tree is on a coffee table to prevent our large dogs from knocking the ornaments off with their tails).</p> <p>[attach=1632/12/me7rt3.400x600..facebook_-650940594.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-christmas-tree#post-419626 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 14:58:30 +0000 lawbee11 419626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with PP--if it's going in a small space I think it would be fine, but if it's going in a big, open room I think it's too skinny. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-christmas-tree#post-419620 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 14:57:26 +0000 spaniellove 419620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is definitely meant to be a slim tree, like for a corner or the angle of a staircase? If you're putting it in a more open spot I'd say maybe look for a wider tree... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-christmas-tree#post-419609 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 14:55:54 +0000 MrsTiz 419609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a pencil tree last year, it was skinny and I liked it because it looked good in the little area I had for it. If it is in the middle of a big open room they feel a little skimpy.</p> <p>Craft stores have good trees if you decide against that one! (I like it, though!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-christmas-tree#post-419600 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 14:54:13 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 419600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't love the quality of the trees from Wal-Mart. The one we had when we lived in an apartment looked really fake and shed tons, but it was all we could afford when we got it. We were on the hunt for a 9 ft artificial tree last year and the nicest ones were at hardware stores. I was shocked by the price when we were looking, but decided to go for it since we'll have the tree for years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-christmas-tree#post-419586 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 14:51:33 +0000 T.H.O.U. 419586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The thing to look for is the number of tips! I found ours at Lowes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-christmas-tree#post-419583 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 14:50:43 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 419583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't decide if I like it or not... I'm definitely in love with the price, though! </p> <p>We want to get a 9 ft tree, but most of those are SO expensive. DH found this and I think it's it's a little too skinny. It has 1,602 tips, which is close to what I would see on the more expensive trees. </p> <p><a href="http://www.walmart.com/ip/Holiday-Time-Pre-Lit-9-Williams-Slim-Artificial-Christmas-Tree-Clear-Lights/21079651" rel="nofollow">http://www.walmart.com/ip/Holiday-Time-Pre-Lit-9-Williams-Slim-Artificial-Christmas-Tree-Clear-Lights/21079651</a></p> <p>What do you think? </p>
