They might not be what you want. Most of them are pre lit. I had to buy one of the Alpine trees from there a couple of years ago, because of moving the office home and changing and moving furniture all around. Only spot left was in the kitchen. No kids at home, though grandchildren come over. I like the tree, my husband does not, but had to compromise because of space. Love not having to string and unstring the lights. Would love to leave the decorations on, through a sheet over it and stick in a closet till next year. No space. Blessings and good luck on compromising and everyone being satisfiedMary Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14828003644053286026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2172707736566212799.post-38304704886536178242011-12-07T08:24:36.529-06:002011-12-07T08:24:36.529-06:00I love the convenience of a pre-lit tree ... no sh...I love the convenience of a pre-lit tree ... no shopping for a tree, no circling the tree adding lights, etc. But there's just something about a real tree ... even though we've got an empty nest and don't even host Christmas here, DH and I still insist on a real tree.Kathy ... aka Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17626590048036292030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2172707736566212799.post-29737178043917766852011-12-06T18:35:31.801-06:002011-12-06T18:35:31.801-06:00We also have an 8 ft pre-lit artificial tree and i...We also have an 8 ft pre-lit artificial tree and it solves the problem of our cats trying to crawl way up inside and knocking the ornaments off. In fact, we store it under the basement stairs in one piece, under a blanket. We don't even have to shape the branches, just carry it up the stairs, plug it in and add the decorations. We will never go back to a real tree.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14611026073989398273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2172707736566212799.post-50832007156607191592011-12-06T18:20:17.512-06:002011-12-06T18:20:17.512-06:00I grew up with a real tree and we had real trees f...I grew up with a real tree and we had real trees for the first 22 years of our married life. We 'bit the bullet' and bought a prelit 9 ft tree at Sam's 3 years ago and LOVE it! Putting the lights on the tree was a fight every year. We bought the artificial tree so on the years we go back to the midwest, we won't have to take the tree down before we go or come home to a stick with needles on the ground!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09735582661681991969noreply@blogger.com
