I’m in the market for a pre-lit LED tree. Anyone have one? Are you pleased with it? ---

I have one and am generally pleased with it. It wasn’t a top of the line one so it still looks like a fake. When I was a kid we always had live ones, so I miss the smell but considering the shape the planet is in, every live tree saved is more air to breath. It’s an l.e.d. one, and the lights are a lot more subtle than the incandescant bulbs, and I think I like them better actually. Plus you can program them to light a bunch of different ways. Assembling it is fairly easy, although you have to spend a fair amount of time arranging the branches. Overall, It’s good, and so far has lasted 3 years without having to change a bulb. ---

I got one last year. It’s great. Put the sections together. Plug it in. Instant Xmas. ---

I have a little one. It works fine. My big one is a fake tree, but I still decorate it myself. I wish it was pre-lit, so I didn’t have to fight with cords of lights every year. I’ll just hang decorations.
