U-Pick, schmoo pick.

Artificial trees have long provided another option. But it’s often obvious that they’re fake.

What makes this artificial tree worth adding to your home this year and for years to come? For starters, its individually-crafted branch tips just look realistic. Pieced together, the tree looks full and doesn’t have gaps that other lower-grade artificial trees have. The 61-inch base diameter helps in that department.

All 750 white lights gift it a classic look that goes with any decor style, from farmhouse chic to over-the-top luxe.

As for set-up, it’s not rocket science, which is helpful as the holiday season is complicated enough. Pre-attached hinged branches on the center poles streamline assembly. A sturdy base can withstand any little furbabies or children vying for a spot on the naughty list. Bonus points for the hypo-allergenic, fire-resistant needles.
