Even though holiday prep time might still feel far away, it’s sneaking up on us and Christmas trees are already on display at all your favorite retailers. If you haven’t begun any holiday shopping yet, then let this 6-foot pre-lit artificial tree from Best Choice products be the first thing you check off your list, currently on sale for $99.99 and 17% off its typical price for a limited time. The closer we get to Christmas, the higher the prices will soar for the most fuss-free artificial trees.
No more dreading what inevitably comes after you enjoy a live Christmas tree: its many needles littering your floor, which only multiply as you try to drag the tree out of your home or apartment, praying that the local trash agency will in fact pick up your lifeless tree from the curb (not to mention the fact that many common types of Christmas trees, like pine and fir, are mildly toxic to cats).
While it’s on sale, this sturdy, reviewer-beloved artificial tree is definitely the one to buy well before the holiday season really gets bustling! It’s carefully crafted to look and feel lifelike, from the branches that mimic those of an authentic pine tree down to the meticulously designed tips, which are also flame-retardant. If the 6-foot height doesn’t make sense for your home, the tree comes in four other heights, ranging from 4.5 feet to 12 feet — most of which are also on sale.
Best of all, it’ll save you money from having to buy a new live tree every year, so your savings will only increase the longer you use it.
The tree also comes pre-installed with hundreds of LED lights, saving you some serious time on setup. You can choose between multicolor or white lights, depending on your aesthetic preferences. The lights are evenly spaced and wrapped around the branches in a way that reviewers say looks nearly invisible. Also, reviewers who have owned the tree for a while can attest to the lights still working like new several years later.
Putting together the tree is also as easy as one, two, three — literally. It comes in three parts, along with a sturdy metal stand on the bottom. Just unfold the stand, stack all the parts, fluff the tree and you’re done.
Amazon reviewers also swear by this 6-foot pre-lit tree for its quality and sturdiness. Check out what they have to say:
″Great tree and easy to assemble! The pinecones and berries are a perfect addition to the tree.” — Amazon Customer
“Probably the best artificial tree we’ve ever purchased. Looks really nice. Not too wide or too narrow. Branches fluff out well and leave almost no gaps. Pine cones and berries are a nice touch and look realistic (also means fewer ornaments needed to fill out the appearance) as does the color of the tree itself. Instructions are very detailed and each section of the tree is labeled, even the plugs for the lights are labeled for each section. Fast delivery and reasonable price. Very impressed.” — DCLivework
Post-Christmas – The tree looked great after hanging tons of ornaments. We received outstanding complements. Now will disassemble and see how it looks next year. So far – great product, great value, very well made.” — J.Stern
“The instructions said it would take two hours, two people, and a ladder to put the tree together. I am a very short elderly woman and I put it together by myself with no ladder in just a couple of minutes. It looks fabulous!” — Julie Kiser
“I needed a tree to replace our old one and this one has not disappointed! 3 years running and it still works like new despite being attacked by the cat, kids, and having an adult fall into it. We have the tree up 5-6 weeks every season and have it on most nights (especially the week of and after Christmas). Every year it takes maybe 30 minutes to set up and take down, already pre-lit and decorated with the berries and pine cones, so once it’s up it can be ready to go or you can easily add ornaments onto it.” — Katherine
