 Great tree!Nov 29, 2009
By C. Webber
We purchased this tree with some trepidation as is was a little more money than the non PVC ones at Lowe's, but less than the PVC ones. We didn't like the way the non-PVC ones looked there at the store. So we took a chance and ordered it. It is heavy, and when we got it out and set it up initially, we were cautiously optimistic. The needles at the ends are the much-touted PVC, and further up the branches they are a more normal artificial looking needle. I can say with confidence, the machine that packs these trees into the box REALLY squeezes them down, and I also predict that the tree will never go back into the box it came out of. It took my wife and I three hours to shape the tree and fluff-up the branches, but now that it is done, the tree looks great. I respectfully disagree with the other reviewer that says they look rubbery. On the tree we purchased, they look great. Yes, if you thoroughly examine them at close range, you will discern that it is indeed an artificial tree, but from about three feet on back, it is difficult to tell, beyond that fact that real trees are seldom so uniform. Anyhow, we are very satisfied with our purchase, even though the tree is definitely greener than the kind of silvery one in the company photo. I put a couple photos in the 'customer images' section, one with flash, and one without.

 Use caution with this business!Dec 05, 2010
By Gloria J ODonnell
Please note that the Christmas center offers the very worst customer service. They were not kind or helpful via the Internet or on the phone. I bought this tree on a Sunday night after 8 pm and cancelled the order the following morning before 6 am. They would not accept my cancellation, sent me the tree, and then when I sent it back they charged me a $100 restocking fee! The tree btw is not blue as it appears in the picture, but rather is green!

Not Like the PictureDec 09, 2010
By Dee
This tree went together fairly well. Had to do a lot of fussing to get it looking right. The color is not great and it very definitely does not, not look like the the picture. It looks pretty but if your looking for the picture look, forget it.

 Lights OUT !!!Dec 23, 2011
By Maggie Pierce
We ordered the Downswept Hunter Fir Christmas Tree and were very excited when the order was delivered to our front door. Set up was a little troublesome and the tree really didn't stand straight after it was set up.Once decorated however it looked BEAUTIFUL...for exactly 1 week. Thats when the lights started to go out.One whole side of the tree went dark and no amount of checking or changing bulbs helped. We were forced to add a set of lights(no easy fete with the ornaments on the tree)which defeated the purpose of buying a pre-lit tree.We are definitely disappointed with GKI/Bethlehem Lights and probably won't purchase their products in the future.

DisappointedDec 19, 2011
By Diamond
I finally set up my tree a couple of weeks ago. I love the appearance of it because it does look real but I am disappointed with this tree for the amount I had to pay for it. The bottom part of the tree is very bare and I can see straight through it, plus the middle post is clearly visible. (4-5 inche gap) I worked for the long time trying to move the stems and placed large bulbs on the inside to try and fill it in. I do not believe it looks at all like the picture. It is green and not blue.
