We have underfloor heating and having struggled for years trying to keep a real tree looking fresh, I gave up and decided this year we'd go for an artificial tree. After hours of internet browsing I eventually decided on the "We Are Christmas" Pre-Lit Douglas Fir Christmas Tree (8ft) and I'm certainly not disappointed. It's a beautiful realistic looking tree. As other reviewers have said it's easy to assemble, the tree has hinged branches and the 8ft has 4 sections that just slot together. It's the most realistic tree I've ever seen and unless you examine it very closely, once decorated and lit, it's hard to tell the difference. To say I'm delighted with the tree's appearance is an understatement and the quality, ease of assembly and the speed in which the tree arrived with free delivery was very impressive, as was the great service from "We Are Christmas", the only downside was missing out on the current price reduction 😢, that said though, it's still worth every penny of the £439.99🙂 and not having to remember to water a real tree 3 times a day! If you are considering an artificial Christmas Tree then this is the best out there and well worth the price tag - even at full price!
