Vickerman 30" Carmel Pine Artificial Christmas Tree with 684 PVC Tips and Pine Cones, Unlit, Pine Cone Accented Green PVC Tips, Fixed in Decorative Burlap Base

Yes it is October, but I don't care! I just love Christmas and always start my decorating early, because I do a lot, enjoy it thoroughly, and it doesn't hurt anyone, yet, it makes me happy. So I was looking for a small tree to put next to my coffee bar, and I found this little tree and thought it was adorable! And I mean really, can you beat this price? I read the reviews like I always do for my purchases, and was stunned at some of the reviews. I mean, this is an artificial tree, it doesn't just come out of the box, and look like it does in the photo. You have to fluff the branches. I still need to do some more straightening out and fixing, especially after I put the lights on, but I plan on adding red berry garland, so I will really make sure this is perfect after it is finished. This tree won't have ornaments, just the white lights and red berries. It already has the pine cones and is just such a simple and pretty tree. I love the burlap base. I did read some reviews that said it wouldn't stand up. Now I purchased the 42 inch one, so I can't speak for the smaller ones. I will say, I didn't have an issue with this tree and it stands up just fine and is perfectly straight. I will assume you could bend this into shape, or at least try. It does seem to have some flexibility. When I fluffed it, I started one branch at a time from the bottom up. I pulled one down, and then spread the branches. It really just fits perfectly next to my coffee bar (first photo) I just put the lights on in a different part of my home but moved it to the coffee bar after, and have yet to take a photo. I will try to remember to take a photo when finished decorating and update the photos. I may order the little one for my island, as they really are perfect!! I am so happy with this purchase!

I loved this tree. I ordered a smaller one and loved that one too but it was too small. This is the perfect size and the look same look that I loved. It's full enough but natural and rustic looking.

This sturdy but delicate-looking tree is wonderful if you want to place it in front of a window to see all your ornaments and lights throughout (instead of a big blob tree only showing you one green side and blocking any views). You'll need to straighten up the branches out of the box, but they are very pliable, realistic, and easy to arrange (although a bit prickly, so wear gloves if you have delicate skin). The branches can also hold heavy ornaments if you place them closer to the trunk; or use string instead of a hook to attach them on two branches towards the trunk but pull out and position them towards the tips. There might be one small slightly bare spot on the tree after you push the branches around, so place that side away from your main view. Nevertheless, the branches are strong and help keep ornaments on. Tip: I placed my 36" tree in Grandma's unused 12" diameter silver punch bowl with some cotton batting as snow. The tree's 6" high and 7" wide diameter burlap base won't scratch the bowl and is easy to position straight up and not be crooked (some reviewers say their base isn't flat, so a container solves this problem). Now my tree is ready to decorate. When the season's over, I take off the ornaments and store the tree in a woodsy-themed guest room (and not hide it away in a box or closet). This way I can easily and quickly grab and place the tree on a display table for the next holiday season without needing to arrange branches.

I'm in the process of moving and have everything in boxes, therefore my apartment is in chaos and a mess. Last year I could not decorate for Christmas because I obtained a Siberian Husky puppy ( and they are a tornado, to say the least) I did not want to let pass another year without decorating for the holidays. I usually put up a 6.5 tree. However under my circumstances this year, it's impossible. I looked at many small trees and this one stood out. The reviews were good and the price point was decent. It's not perfect but it will do. As many have mentioned in the reviews, the small branches are a bit flimsy, but on the other hand, they are very moldable and flexible. The trunk seemed a bit crooked, but with a bit of elbow grease you can bend it back straight, easily..( The stand is firm,and steady, it can spin a bit when putting on the lights. ) However with this said, it's one of the most realistic, artificial Christmas tree I've seen. Therefore, that gets the fourth star. I bought a scented pine-candle to light next to it, and you would swear it's real. It has that farm- house look and feel to it, which I like. Even though it's sparsely shaped, it's still rather full. It fits perfectly on the table it's sits on. I actually could have bought the 4 footer. This one is the 3 footer, or slightly shorter. I've seen more expensive trees at General Dollar for more money, and definitely not as real looking. Think I paid 30 dollars for this one, well worth the price. If you like that farmhouse look, you won't be disappointed with this lovely tree. Keep in mind that you will have to spend quite a bit of time fluffing the branches out. But with a little eggnog and some Christmas music, you should do just fine. I was child of the 70s and this tree brings me back to those days. My favorite Christmas holiday theme/decor is Vintage-style, and this tree checks that box. He who doesn't have Christmas in his heart, will never find it under a tree. May everyone have a wonderful, happy and peaceful holiday.

I ordered this charming tree as an additional tabletop holiday decoration for our home. It appeared very narrow once it was removed from its shipping box, but after gently bending and shaping each branch, the tree was transformed! Each branch has several smaller sprigs that add a very realistic look. This tree appears much more natural than other artificial trees normally on display in stores...the needles are lifelike and are a dark matte green color. The small pine cones and heavy burlap base add a nice rustic appearance. The height of the tree with its burlap base is exactly 42 inches. The top of the tree is slender with a gradual width between 7 and 10 inches. The middle of the tree is approximately 16 inches wide and the widest bottom branch area is between 21 and 22 inches. The more time you spend shaping the tree makes it look even more beautiful. We’ve already added a string of 300 small white LED lights and it’s pretty enough to stay up all winter! We are very pleased with this purchase and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to add something special to their home for the holiday season!

This tree arrived quickly. It is much more substantial quality wise than I was expecting. I love this style which is timeless. It’s beautiful!! It has no smell. Does not shed. Very sturdy as the base has some weight to it. It will easily store but I see keeping this up year round. The little pine cones really make it.

This tree is exactly the size and shape I needed. A tree that wasn’t too wide or bushy. I wasn’t sure if I’d like the pine cones, as I thought they might interfere with the ornaments, but they don’t and are kinda cute. They could be removed if need be. The primary issue I have with this little tree is that the concrete base is slightly too small, too light and the tree trunk is slightly crooked so it’s not 100% stable. Once I pulled all the branches into position this helped but it’s still a little wobbly. One must be careful not to bump the tree so I decided not to decorate with any fragile ornaments. I may look for a flowerpot or some sort of appropriate receptacle in which to place the tree to further stabilize it.

I got this little tree to put in a crock. I like the skinny branches and how the branches are tiered so there is a little space in between them. It looks airy and goes good with my primitive decor. You have to arrange each branch when you get it so it takes some time. I removed the pinecones because some of them seemed a little big for the tree size and it looked too wintery for me since I'm leaving it out year round. The base was a little loose, but it tightened up nice when I held it and turned the trunk. The threads from the trunk wrap at the top were sticking out so I smoothed them down with some glue. I added a small string of fairy lights and it's cute.

I’ve had fake trees before but this is the best one so far it takes a lot of time to unfold it, branch by branch but in the end it’s worth it, if you want a great little tree this is the one to get, I may get another one !

Looks very good. I'm positively impressed.

I read the reviews and was nervous about purchasing but I am really glad I did. I needed a table top tree and went with the 4’ size. Like with any tree, you need to take time to fluff it and shape it. Important to note and don’t let this throw you… After tou pull down, fluff and shape the lowest branches, the next row is very very short! This is actually a very smart part of the design. Don’t give up and keep going. You will see that these short layers/rows happen a few times. What I realized is they help to provide a depth of fill while creating space for ornaments to sit within th tree, not just from the ends of the branches and it makes for a beautiful end result. I purchased battery powered fine twinkle lights. Two solid and one with twinkling settings and weaved them inside and along the brances for a magickal look. Bottomline. It’s a realistic tree, but you need to do your part. It’s not magical. You have to take time to give it shape. Worth the time and honestly worth more than the cost!

It is 2 feet. small. easy to spread branches. very sturdy. smaller than I imagined but it has kind of a magical feel to it. .:-) Will use it, easier to decorate and no fuss. A bit pricey for what it is, but I like it. I would recommend buying this tree. Merry Christmas.

The Vickerman Artificial Carmel Pine Tree is perfect and exactly what was advertised in the write up and pictures. Perfectly perfect.🌲👍🏻
