Just curious if anyone has one, and if you feel it's worth the money?

I'll soon find out myself as we have one in transit

If not, what do you use? Real, artificial, aluminum..?

We've been using fake trees for since we got married 26 years ago, twice we broke down and bought real trees, and twice regretted it, the dead needles, adding water, the mess getting it out, sap in the carpet...

We've had 3 fake trees in the past 6 years, all okay but they got ratty, lights quit working, and none have been 'realistic'. Our biz has been off the charts this year so we thought we'd spend good money and buy, hopefully, our last fake tree I checked several websites and tree companies before going with a Balsam Hill. I think we'll be happy
