This tree is not as full looking as images suggest. Yes I know that the fronds need to be spread out, but still after doing this you can see gaps through the tree where leaves/branches could be. It's only the tips of some of the branches that have quality artificial leaves. Send it back you say…it is up now. Will make the best of it.

I’ve ordered a 6 and 7 ft slim Christmas trees which arrived 2 days after ordering but 4 days before Christmas. The tallest one arrived first and I was surprised at how quick it is to set up. No more sticking on individual branches which used to be frustrating, tedious and time consuming. These ‘slim’ trees, with their hinged branches, they opened outwards (due to gravity) once you’ve lifted 3 sections of the tree out of its box. The most ‘time consuming’ part, would be when you’ve got to open up the leaves on each branches. The best thing about it, I wanted a tree tight in a corner and while I have done this with reasonable successes with older wide trees (by leaving out branches up one side) … all I had to do is tuck the branches up and push this tree hard into a corner. These trees are perfect and when you step out of the room to look back at it, it really does look like a neat but lush looking spruce tree. Cannot comment on what they would be like for packing up…and I won’t know for a month (and a bit). Well worth getting these trees but I would’ve save quite a bit of money had I waited 2 days for the sales…but if I waited…the trees wouldn’t have arrived in time. But I did take advantage by ordering 2 more Christmas trees but they’re the artificial snowy trees not the slim ones though. I like to have options ;-)

I have a small space for a Christmas tree so I purchased a slim tree but it’s not really that slim and still needs a fair bit of space. 5 branches have also come off while spreading them out, I was not rough while doing so, there is one that sort of is just hanging there ready to fall they just aren’t glued in well which makes me think I may not get too many Christmas’s with this tree. I wouldn’t buy again
