"I was very disappointed in the quality of this artificial Christmas tree. The hinged metal branches were attached to plastic on the trunk of the tree, which I believe would not last even 2 years. I felt they were very flimsy just out of the box - cannot imagine how they would hold up with all the ornaments added and repeated movement when setting up and taking down. The circumference of the tree was not as large as I expected it to be either. Even though I bought the tree on sale for 1/2 off the original price, I still returned it. It is not even worth that price in my opinion!!"

"I was looking forward to getting this new Christmas tree and decorating it. Had to wait 1 1/2 weeks for it to come. When it did come, set it up only to find that 1/3 of the lights on it did not work. Tried several things to get them to work, but could not. Had to return it to the store. Went and bought a much more expensive tree so we could get it right away and get it up and decorated for Christmas. It was also shorter then we had wanted."
Pros Was a nice looking tree.
Cons Lights did not work, had to return.

"I purchased this tree as a replacement for a similar tree that I had purchased several years before that we were very happy with. I specifically looked for a "Mountain King" because of the excellent quality of our previous tree. We were quite disappointed with the new tree and considered returning it. It shed more than real tree would; I am still vacuuming up needles."
Pros Nicely lit; nice shape
Cons Sheds like crazy

"I got this tree on sale. I was very pleased with the ease of putting it together (after figuring out which piece was which) and also the great looks. I love the convenience of having a pre-lit tree. Could be slightly fuller, but what do you expect for an artificial treet"
Pros quality, convenience, price
Cons could be slightly fuller

"This tree is a little scrawny and the needles have been falling off at a rapid pace since day one. This should not happen. It looked very full online but it has a lot of spaces in between. I tried my best to open up each branch but it still looked bare even after I put many ornaments on it. It is also, definitely, not 6-1/2 feet tall at indicated."
Pros the lights are pretty
Cons it is a scrawny tree

"I have been a fan of Mountain King trees ever since I was a child... But this one was not of the same quality that I have known fom them. I bought it because of the pre wired lights, which are nice. But the tree looks fake whereas my old tree does not after having it for 16 years. I am not happy with my purchase and will probably be looking for another one next year."
Pros Price, pre-wired lights
Cons Quality, doesn't look like a real tree when it is assembled

The tree was fine and it is beautiful and well lit. We are very pleased with the tree. My wife decorated it with teddy bears and bows."

"This tree is wonderful. it was easy to assemble and is absolutely gorgeous. Unlike many artificial trees this one looks real in the daytime as well as at night. I was reluctant about the pre-lit part but the factory did a fantastic job on the lights."
Pros Good quality very preety
Cons Directions should be more than exploded drawing.

"This is the second year for this tree at our house. It was fine the first year. It's reasonably easy to assemble and not bad looking. The problems started this year. The base in not as strong as it might be and one of the legs broke. I'm now on my 3rd email exchange with the company (its a company called "General Foam Plastics". They brand it as Mountain King. They claim there is no such model even though its clearly printed on their instructions. I've sent them every number on the box and they still don't know what I'm talking about. I'd be looking elsewhere and avoiding General Foam."
Pros Easy to assemble and moderately attractive
Cons modest quality and poor manufaturers support.
