How to choose an artificial Christmas tree
Think about your budget
There are many options out there for artificial trees, so setting a budget can help narrow your search.
Choosing the right size
You don’t want a huge 8ft tree if you have a low ceiling or a small space, so consider where you put your tree and measure up!
Materials and colours
What type of tree would you like, a tree that looks realistic, one that’s snow-topped, or maybe a completely different colour like white or pink?
Prelit or unlit
If you want to eliminate the hassle of untangling your Christmas lights, opt for prelit.
Branch construction
Check how the branches attach or whether they are pre-attached to the tree already.
Think about quality and durability
Choose a tree with a good warranty, this usually means it’s high-quality and will last for many years.
Eco-friendliness
Consider spending a little more on a high-quality tree that you know will last you for years.
Don’t forget storage
Check you have ample storage in your home for the size of tree you are buying.
