Wow, that is beautiful, I love the different textured branches and it looks really natural to me. Not a bad price either. Lol, thanks for doing all the ground work, I've looked at so many sites.

Very pretty tree, Ann. I love it! Do yourself a favor and order a storage container for it as gettin them back into the original box never works well w/out crushing the limbs!

I have a question, see where it says "click here" on the picture I posted? Click on the other tree and you get a different picture. The picture you linked, has "green" written on it's picture, the picture to the left, has the word, "clear" printed on that. I really like the tree you posted, and I'm unsure if those labels are correct.

Seems like the smaller and larger trees are both darker looking green and read out clear whereas the mid-sized one is labelled green and seems to have two-toned branches, though all seems to have clear lights. Possibly the mid-sized tree is just a trick of photography and highlighting from light is creating a two-toned look but can't tell for sure.

I can't seem to get my web pages to display that large red "Click Here" words no matter where all I click!

Looks nice! I like that it's hinged, as they are so much quicker to set up.

Be sure to read the reviews and keep everything in the box, keep the original box, invoice, etc., in case you want to return it should it be defective or stand crooked or something.

The reviews say it's darker green than it looks in pic and doesn't have the gold tones that appear on the photo. I think it's the reflection off the lights on the middle picture that make it appear a warmer golden color, as the lights appear on in that photo and off in the others.

I know my Christmas tree photos taken at different times of the day, and with the lights off and on, make it look like a totally different tree.

Lol, I wrote the "click here" words, afterwards, I thought why did I write that? Sorry for the confusion. I don't think the "green" and the clear refer to light colors. Not sure what they refer to, unless the tree that is pictured as "green" has more of a green tint sprayed on it.

Yeah, I was reading the reviews and notice that too, but when you click on the little trees, it shows two obviously different colored trees.

I didn't explain that correctly. The picture Ann linked has goldish undertones in the picture and it's labeled as "green" gree.jpg

If you click on the other small picture you'll see the word "clear" and this tree shows up.clear.jpg

I'm wondering if some of them who say the tree is not like the one in the picture ordered the one that says "clear."

I just noticed that they are two different prices as well.


Oh never mind, it also is a different height.

LOL. I kept trying to find those words and just couldn't!

I wasn't saying that the clear referred to the lights, just that the smaller- and larger-sized trees read out "clear" when you click on them as opposed to the mid-sized tree which says "green" when you click on it - but have no idea why, except that it looks different in limb-color gradients. All three trees seem to have clear lights but that mid-size tree, the 7.5 ft. one whose color is listed as "green" does look like it has two-toned branches.

Looks like all three-sized trees have varying length but similar, realistic-looking branches at each level. Very pretty tree in any size, whether "green" or "clear" is chosen.

I just figured that out, yes, you are indeed correct! I just love the picture of the first tree and wanted to make sure it looked like that. Now if I could figure out if it's easy to put together. Ann order it and let me know!

Yea, I just saw that..hmmm

Thats the problem with ordering online and not seeing in person. I ordered a slim design tree to use on my covered front porch at my last house, and what they sent me was nothing like the photo. Image a taper candle stuck on the top of a pyramid..that was the shape of the body of the tree. It was hideous! But back then it cost so much to return ship it, I just kept it and bent the heck out of the bottom branches to try to get it to not look so strange, then shoved it in the corner of the porch and I stuck a Santa in front of it.

LOL, I guess I'll have to shop for a Santa as well! I hate buying things online. So convenient, but if you don't like it, you're out of luck.
