Product Description

From the company that has decorated famous Christmas settings like Chicago's State Street and Dollywood comes professional-grade holiday trimmings to deck the halls of your home. GKI/Bethlehem Lighting's 7-1/2-foot Hunter PE/PVC tree faithfully reproduces the lush fullness of a freshly cut evergreen with 4,671 tips on downswept long branches and a generous sprinkling of burr cones. Offering a balanced shape with enough variation to still look organic, the tree can be viewed equally well from every side to showcase all the favorite family ornaments and garland. It also comes pre-strung with 850 clear mini lights nestled into the branch layers. Using an individual lock-in method, each bulb stays firmly in place and operates independently of the others so one burnout won't cast the whole tree into un-festive (and frustrating!) darkness. Fire-retardant, fade-proof, and crush-resistant, the tree stands securely on a metal base and features heavy-duty wire branch construction so it looks crisp and perfect all season long. When it's time to pack away, the included carton stores this showpiece safely without damage to needles. The tree measures 70 inches in diameter and comes with a 10-year limited warranty. --Kara Karll

Reviewer: June Bug,

This tree is the most beautiful Christmas Tree I've ever seen. People who come into my home are stunned by it's beauty. It can easily stand alone. After decorating the tree, I actually took some of the decorations off to compliment the tree with it's precious little burr cones. It was worth every penny. Amazon has great prices. It was listed at almost half the price that the manufacturer wanted.I recommend it to everyone who appreciates the true beauty of a tree that is so realistic that the branches are downswept, as if heavy snow had just melted off of them.

GKI Bethlehem has great customer service!

GKI Bethlehem has great customer service. I had to call on a wrong middle section in my box too. I called the toll free number (800)248-1434 for GKI cutomer service. They sent me out a new middle (the correct size one) right away and I didn't have to pay for any shipping. It came right to my door. Now all I have to do is dispose of the wrong middle section (A bit of a bummer as it's perfectly fine). I thought GKI's customer service was great. All you have to do is tell them that you bought in on Amazon.com and it's taken care of. I was really impressed with the service I got. BTW I am giving this 5 stars as the tree is gorgeous!!!!

stunning tree, if you have the patience to set it up

Reviewer: Paul Christensen, West Chester, PA United States

After looking at many different trees in person, we purchased the 9-foot GKI Bethlehem Hunter tree (multi-color) as our first artificial tree after many years of real Frasier Firs.

We couldn't be happier. With enough patience setting it up and properly arranging the branches, you can't get a more natural-looking tree. On the 9-foot tree, there are 6935 tips of two styles, with the very end tips on each branch being molded plastic forms from real trees. The remaining (bulk) of the tips are the more traditional artificial tree style.

GKI-Bethlehem includes a tutorial DVD, along with a wireless bulb tester that helps locate broken circuits if a bulb burns out improperly (generally, if a bulb burns out, the rest remain lit). And there are plenty of spare replacement bulbs.

The 9-foot tree comes in 3 pre-wired sections that fit together creating two separate power plugs for the tree. With each section, the branches are hinged at the center, and fan out. You'll need to adjust tips on each branch, and this takes quite a bit of time to get best results. I'll admit I'm a perfectionist, and this was also our first artificial tree. But it took me about 8 hours to properly arrange the tips in a 3-dimensional form, and bend the branches to create an evenly-spaced tree that appears to gradually flair up toward the light at the very top of the tree. Arranging properly definitely is more of an art - what I found with some experimentation is that you're best arranging the rear tips in a 3-dimensional form instead of just one direction. Start at the bottom, and move your way up. And, with each added section, you'll need to go back and arrange/bend branches to even the spacing and overall look. In the end, we are extremely pleased with the finished tree. I've uploaded a picture of it.

Is this tree perfect? Not entirely. There were a handful of the molded tips that were not properly attached. I ended up using spare decorator's wire to attach them properly. But considering the number of tips, this was only 2 or 3 branches. Not bad.

For the value, especially the outstanding Amazon price, I don't think you'll find a better artificial tree.

beautiful tree

Review Date: December 29, 2007

Reviewer: Janet Jackson,

I ordered the tree and received it two days later. I spent several hours arranging the branches as it appeared on the ad and it is gorgeous. The tree is very full. The branches are made out of two different materials. The inner part of the tree is different from the tips of the tree. I did have a problem with what must have been a loose wire in one section of the lights. They were on at first then went off. I used the bulb checker that came with the tree and could not find exactly what was wrong then by just touching the tree, the section came back on and has stayed on. Placing decorations on the tree really did distract from it's beauty. While shopping in Lowe's just before Christmas my son said "how much did you pay for our tree?" I told him and he said "look how sad those trees look and their the same price". This was my first time to order anything off the internet and I was extremely pleased with the quality of the product that I received and with the speed that it arrived.

Pre-lit Christmas tree

Reviewer: Bettya88, Connecticut USA

I just received and put up the 7 1/2 foot tree. I ordered it on December tenth and wasn't expecting shipment before the twenty-first. I was very happily surprised when it was delivered on the seventeenth. It comes in three sections with a stand. Included is a DVD which really isn't needed to set up the tree. Caution-the sections are heavy, especially the middle one. I had to ask someone help me to lift it onto the stand. It is very pretty and doesn't need many decorations. It has lovely pinecones on it. It is quite dense. If you play around with the branches you can make it look fuller. Mine is in front of the window and you can barely see through it. If you want a shorter tree you can leave off the bottom section and just use the middle and top. I am very pleased with this tree.
