Giantex, Green Artificial Pencil Christmas, Premium Hinged Pine Tree with Solid Metal Legs, Perfect for Home, Shops and Holiday Decoration, (5FT) (Artificial Pencil Christmas Tree)

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I love love love this tree. I have a small living room so we needed a skinny tree and this one fits perfectly. It's easy to decorate and fits perfect in the corner or in front of the window all lit up.Look:The needles aren't as sturdy as I would like but will last for several years and was so easy to put up. Absolutely gorgeous once decorated and survived my 2 crazy cats.

Had been wanting/needing a new tree for awhile, and needed one that wouldn't flare out too much. This one was good quality, easy to assemble and set up. Decent enough price. Overall recommend.

Great tree for small places.

Not ideal for heavy ornaments but worked for us just fine. The base is narrow and some may consider it flimsy. We had no issues but I may have invested in something sturdier if we had indoor pets or older kids.

This is a wonderful tree! Perfect size, we needed something that was narrow to fit this particular spot (only place we have in our crowded living room/studio). I’ve had a few artificial trees that have shed as badly as real ones, this one does shed but minimally (so far), and for the price, I’m ok with that. I also really like the base, super easy to set up: one piece that swivels and 4 eye screws. We have 3 very active cats who’ve messed with the lower branches, but haven’t attempted to climb, we may have to remove a few of these branches. I didn’t notice it was crooked until we had it trimmed, so please excuse that in my photo and be aware that you’ll need to take some care leveling when setting it up. Also, the 7ft tree has 4 sections and the order isn’t marked and being that it is a pencil tree, it isn’t obvious which section goes in which order (other than the very top one). Over all I’m really happy and would totally recommend 👍

Very impressed with this tree! As an avid decorater, this tree is perfect for all seasons/holidays. It is very full and sturdy! It is a nice bright white and the size is perfect! The branches are not flimsy either! Great value for the price! Would definitely recommend.

I needed inexpensive trees for outdoor use. All they need to do is support string mini lights. I don't care how they look during the day, only at night once lit up.I purchased the 5', 7', and 9' trees.Gravity is your friend:The instructions state, "We recommend that ...all items are assembled near to the area in which they will be placed in use, to avoid moving the product unnecessarily...". I thought this was an odd, and perhaps obvious, recommendation. Then I realized that the sections of the tree are only held together by gravity. They are NOT screwed or clamped together. This means that the tree can come apart if you're not careful about how you grab it to pick it up. This is not a big deal if you are assembling these in your house in their intended location. However, I am using these trees outdoors in a lawn. I have to move them dozens of times to find just the right level spot so that the tree isn't crooked, which makes working in a lawn with the larger trees very difficult. The 5' tree isn't bad, since it doesn't weigh that much and the two sections tend to stick together (so far). However, it becomes an issue as the trees become taller and the individual sections become heavier. The 9' tree is almost impossible for me to grab and move on my own, since you have to pick it up by the bottom section to ensure it doesn't come apart. Ultimately, I strung each section of the 9' tree in the garage (using an additional stand that I purchased separately at Meijer), and then assembled it on the lawn in sections, hoping it was still straight once the top section was in place. Furthermore, the stand of the 9' tree could be/should be a little broader to support its height. I stake these to high Heaven, but I expect a good windstorm may prove disastrous. The 7' tree already survived a high wind, but I'm not sure I'll be as lucky with the 9' tree.Gravity is your enemy:The taller the tree, the longer the lower branches. The longer the branches, the weaker they are. The lowest tier of the 7' tree and lower few branches of the 9' tree barely hold up the lights. I've had to adjust from wrapping lights around the tree, to zigzagging up and down each section so that the upper branches help support the weight on the lower branches.They are performing the task for which I purchased the, but just barely. Last night it rained ... a lot, and the branches seemed to survive. However, I'm not sure how they'll withstand a good snow.Ultimately, you get what you pay for. Ultimately, I may have exerted way more effort than it was worth in order to save a couple bucks.

This tree is perfect for small spaces, like my studio apartment. It is tall and the branches are fuller than I had expected. It is as described. You can't beat the price for this great tree! My only complaints is that the branches shed and that it is a little unstable. It looks really great and I think it is a really good price. I haven't decorated it yet but just bare and on its own it looks great in my apartment!
