Thank you for your video. I recently purchased the 6.5 pre-lit from BH of the same style. Your video from 5 years ago tells me that they have gone way down in the quality of how its made. I put the pieces together as you're doing, and the tree is crooked/bent. None of the pre-fixed branches are symmetrical like yours. After "fluffing" the inside of the branches, you can still see the center of the tree. Granted, I can add garland to cover the top two sections like THEY did with the bottom section. But I shouldn't have to for the price. Let's move on to the outer part of the branches. They are sideways. The underside is either completely twisted to the side, so you have to bend the pre-fixed branches for the end to look straight. Also, the ends don't fluff like they are supposed to or look right the way they have the lights on. It's reallt disappointing. I've been disabled really since 2002, but legally, 2010. So, some years, depending on if I had my back surgeries close to the holidays, I didn’t put trees up. Then, about 7 years ago, it just became too much. This year, though, has mostly been a great year for our family. My 25yo son is building his own custom home with his soon to be fiancée-proposing on the day they get their keys- my husband got a major promotion at work after closing his own business. So when I saw the BH on sale for Black Friday, I got really excited about putting a tree up. After seeing all the issues and it looking NOTHING like what they show on their site, i am completely devastated and am no longer in the Christmas spirit to put a big tree up. So I'm going to get our 3ft tabletop tree out and decorate it. I will have to return all the beautiful ornaments I've bought at stores, online and the specially made ones I will sell or give to my son and fiancée. Places like BH are buyer beware. If you can't see what they look like in the store, DO NOT BUY! As we've all seen, especially since COVID that companies have gone down in quality while raising their prices to make up for the loss of closing down for so long. Merry Christmas to your family, Ryan from mine.

Thanks for the great video. I was looking at BH trees online but just couldn't pull the trigger bc of the prices. Ended up getting a 7.5' tree at Walmart for $89 with ZERO expectation that it would be really nice, but it is -- really nice! Not quite as realistic, but still really lovely. Seems like the technology is pretty sophisticated by now, and it's not hard to mfr a BH type tree for a fraction of the cost. Like yours, it takes a good while to fluff. I was glad to see it isn't just me.

I have a 7.5 ft tree from Walmart that was $88 when I got it several years ago. It's going in the trash after this year and I'm getting a high quality tree, probably Balsam. My Walmart tree sheds horribly and always has, putting in each branch is tedious and it looks cheap. It does dress up nicely but that's the ornaments doing there job. Every year I end up hating and cursing that tree. It served it's purpose when I was in a financial pinch. This year I'll be buying next year's Christmas tree when everything goes on sale.

It came in three sections but the branches are all permanently attached - the bottom two sections are on hinges and the branches fall down into place, and then you have to spread the smaller branches out. The funny thing is this year we totally forgot to spread the branches out and it looks fine that way too! Good luck!

How somebody can be excited to have fake Christmas tree?! People are you simple too lazy to use vacuum cleaners after new years eve celebrations is over? And please once and forever stop talking about Christmas tree allergies, this is fake as your plastic tree. A person may be allergic to tree pollen or even tree sap, but a real tree produces pollen in the spring, not in the fall and winter when it is dormant. Studies show that of the 50,000 species of trees, less than 100 have been shown to cause allergies. Christmas trees can collect pollens, dust, mold or other allergens as they grow. Of course, so can the artificial tree stored in the attic or basement. Whether you use a fresh Christmas tree from a farm, or an artificial tree stored in a box, if you are sensitive to dust or molds, you can simply hose the tree with water and let it dry before bringing indoors. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

@ryanjohnson6843

Hi Kerry. At first the tree sections just pop together and you can spin each section separately. After fluffing, the the branches start to entwine with each other which stops the sections from moving individually, like you describe. The whole tree can still be rotated until the bolt on the stand has been screwed in tightly, which I found useful. I hope this answered your question.
