copados1993 Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 Does anyone know where I can get a decent looking fake tree for under 300 without having to get it on BF? I've seen some nice looking trees on QVC before, but I can't remember how much they were going for. I'd like to be able to buy one that is prelit, looks close to being real and is dumby proof for putting up. Also, I'd like it to be at least 7 feet as my living room has a very tall ceiling.THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!
msdarkness Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 I was going to say qvc go to qvc.com they have really nice trees and you can even do 2pay on some
linda_loo Posted October 26, 2007 Posted October 26, 2007 I just ordered one from QVC yesterday. I don't think they have any more of the particular one that I ordered... mine is a 9' slim (pencil) tree. Like this, but taller: https://www-ssl.qvc.com/qic/qvcapp.aspx/app.detail Some of the ones are introductory price or on easy pay (mine was - 4 payments of around $55). I'll report back when it arrives.

mrsladymontague Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 Costco has really nice 9 foot pre lit trees for $299
PerkynPunctual Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 A close friend got one last year at Michael's and got a great deal with the 50% off any tree coupon. I know that it was 9-foot and prelit. It is a very full, gorgeous tree. I don't like prelit trees, or I would have gotten one for myself. They have already started to put the trees out at the Michaels in my area and were talking about the coupons coming out in Mid-November. I also saw some very nice trees at Lowe's last week.
KittySkyfish Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 I've seen nice trees at Lowes for the $$ you're talking about. They have a GE7-1/2' Deluxe Just Cut Franklin Fraser Pre-Lit Tree that's $300 and looks great! The lights are the GE ConstantOn lights and the tree was very well lit and sparkling at the store. Very nice density too. It seemed to have a quality look about it and was fuller than a lot of the trees in its price range. This was one of their 'top models' and they carried trees for less, too. If you are really picky-picky about the quality of the tree itself and want one that's dense and lifelike, try www.treeclassics.com. Get an non-lit one - the prelit ones are cha-CHING! I have one of their non-lit trees and I love, love, love it! It's luxurious, intricately sculpted, dense and full. Some of their non-lit trees have hinged branches, which might be something you'd like.
noehlp Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 Here is one I ran across online, don't know anything about the tree, just know alot of people own Douglas Fir ones. Douglas Fir 7-ft.

pogiporkchop Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 I would say Michael's too, great deals when those tree coupons come out.
Princess7915 Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 We have a store here called Garden Ridge, if you have one they have pretty good sales. My mom got hers from QVC. As far as fake trees go it looks pretty nice. She got it about 5 years ago and it still looks the same so it's held up really well.
dd50 Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 If you have BJ's in your area they have some nice trees that aren't expensive. The one I want they sold out but are getting more in, when they don't know. It is a 7 1/2 ft frazier for $150 with 1000 lights. My girls like this one because they want multi lights and most are white lights. They did have quite a few with the white lights. I have also checked in Home Depot and they have nice trees.
coleman4905 Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 I got mine at Value City,..dont knwo if you have one in your are but they had a huge sale years ago before BF and i have a 20% coupon with the sale and the coupon I paid like $80.oo and it's bueatiful,..too large for my room actually,..haha

BFQueenofNY Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 I bought a great 7 ft pre lit tree off ebay for $100 with shipping last year
angelxmasflight Posted November 7, 2007 Posted November 7, 2007 Well first are you wanting color lights or the white ones sometimes the color are a tiny bit more than the white light ones
copados1993 Posted November 7, 2007 Author Posted November 7, 2007 Well first are you wanting color lights or the white ones sometimes the color are a tiny bit more than the white light onesI would really like the white lights.
DramaQueenLucy Posted November 7, 2007 Posted November 7, 2007 Garden Ridge have a great assortment if you have one near you and they are having a sale this week on them. http://www.gardenridge.com/

dd50 Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 JCPenney's is having 1/2 off sale on trees. Starts 11/8.
jbritneybug Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 I know you want the tree for Christmas...but last year after Christmas was over we got a really nice tree from Wal-Mart for like $40. Now it's $170.
cassgurlie04 Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 i dont know how soon you want your tree or if you go shopping black friday but sears has a 299.00 tree on sale for 99.00.
linda_loo Posted November 25, 2007 Posted November 25, 2007 Just thought I'd report in that I LOVE my QVC tree. I have had 5 different artificials over the years, and this is my absolute favorite. The tips of each branch are of a different, softer faux-pine, which makes them look like new growth. The branches are wound with brown and green threading, which looks quite real... the overall effect is fabulous. Very realistic. If I get my act together, I will post a picture.

copados1993 Posted November 28, 2007 Author Posted November 28, 2007 I want to thank everyone for all of their great suggestions. I ended up getting my tree from www.Christmastreesgalore.com . I got one for a little under 200 and it was half off!! I love it. It is prelit with the whitelights. Super easy to put together and super fast shipping!!! I had it in my house in 4 days!!!!!!!!!!! Plus on top of everything, the shipping was free!!! I was going to update the shipping until I saw when the date for arrival. I figured no reason I needed it 2 days early when I could get it shipped for free for 4 days.
dd50 Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 Glad you got a tree you like. I have been on their website but never ordered from them.
