“Had a massive search online and in the shops for a decent tree and it became clear that reliance on a photo is a very big gamble.
Looking instore at some of the pathetic offerings makes you a little hesitant to commit your hard earned cash to a Chinese xmas tree. There is probably one giant factory in China the size of Bedfordshire churning out the same xmas trees with different brand labels...
We checked and double checked the reviews on here and compared the various specifications before pressing the go button. Great sense of trepidation when we opened up the giant box and....
To be honest, we were not disappointed with our purchase.
I wouldn't give it a gushing tear jerking review like some here have but it is a hell of a lot better than all the instore versions we saw.
Easy to put up and connect just massively time consuming to unruffle the branches and it would probably grudgingly merit 5 stars if I hadn't got fed up with it - half wished I'd gone with a much shorter one! Or maybe a glitter drenched fir cone instead?
Summing up it doesn't look half bad, would have been better had I spent more time hunched over tickling its twigs. Visitors gasp with awe and wonder though so it must be ok - or they are grovelling?
Probably the best value we could find and the other bonus is that it doesn't need a load of additional dressing - just stick it up and plug it in.”
