Stringing lights on a tree is enough of a chore. Tracking down the single faulty bulb that put out half of them, from the top of a stepladder, two days before company arrives, is considerably worse.
Offered in a 6½- or 7½-foot height, the tree arrives with clear lights already in place, 600 on the shorter tree and 900 on the taller, and they stay lit even when a bulb fails. With the PowerConnect system, power climbs the center pole itself, leaving no light strands to join as you build. A white flocked finish across the branch tips gives the look of a fresh snowfall indoors.
As each section goes on, its hinged branches settle into position, ready for a little shaping. The durable PVC needles are made to return Christmas after Christmas, and a sturdy metal stand holds everything steady, which leaves the evening for ornaments instead of troubleshooting.
