At a whopping 6.5 feet tall, this artificial Christmas tree towers over most of the live trees for sale on the sidewalks I’ve passed around town. It arrived in a compact box in three parts that I easily assembled in 45 minutes. It would take less time, but I decided to fluff all the branches from each section before attaching the next level, and that fluffing was absolutely worth it. Bonus: it comes with a wood stand.

The tree looks incredibly realistic. Each branch has spindly green faux pine needles attached to brown joints designed to look like real sticks (and don’t fall off). They are also strong enough to hold even the heaviest ornaments. It comes unlit (preferably because the lights burn out over time), so I found some twinkle lights for a string of branches that brought such a festive warmth to my little abode.

You can choose the height you want, depending on your ceiling and where you want to place your tree, as it comes in sizes from 4 feet to 28 feet. It is made of durable PVC plastic that is hypoallergenic and fire resistant, according to the brand.

When Santa flies back to the North Pole and you are ready to take down your tree, it bends and easily fits back into the box. Compared to hauling your live tree to the curb to end up in the landfill — perhaps the saddest part of the holidays — you can simply pack it up and inspire Christmas magic next year.
