The reviews for this product aren't all that good. Was going to order one but don't think I'll bother after seeing some of the customer photos!
I guess it depends on what you expect for £15 for a 6ft tree.

Of all the reviews there is only one review for this 6ft tree in green. It says:
5.0 out of 5 stars Slim tree

Perfect slim tree. Once the branches are all moved apart it made a glorious tree.
Personally I wouldn't expect too much for £15, but encouragingly this tree does have 600 tips.
Many people don't seem to realise that dressing a Christmas tree well takes some skill and experience.
With cheap artificial trees you have to:
a) fluff the branches to help make your Christmas tree look fuller and more natural by extending each of the wired branches and spread each of the wired stems carefully in order to maximise 'bushiness', bending the stems to fill the gaps. This is a time-consuming task, but well worth it!
b) put the lights on first starting deep inside, you need about 100 lights per ft of tree
c) put the largest baubles furthest in, nearest the trunk, then add the medium size baubles, and lastly the smallest baubles on the tips.
For £15 I expect this tree to be more spartan than bushy. If you want super bushy you will need to pay a lot more!
My top tip is to add bulk (for free) by using real fir cones. If you gather fallen fir cones in the wild now they will probably be closed and damp. Dry them in front of the fireplace or in an airing cupboard and they will open up nicely over a few days. If you want them to look speckled with snow, paint them white all-over now, whilst still closed. Then when they dry, they open up, and each of the fir cone tips will be speckled with 'snow'. Once the fir cones are open it is easy to attach fine wire to the base of the fir cones and attach them to the stems of your Christmas tree.
Johnny Thanks for this, I have always put biggest baubles at the bottom and worked up to the top getting smaller, I will try biggest near the trunk this year.
i do spend a lot of time “fluffing” the branches. I have an 8ft slim tree coming on Tuesday to replace my 6ft normal width tree and am hoping I will be able to get all my baubles on it!
