Actually, nothing is better than a real tree still growing in the ground.

A real tree chopped down and placed indoors may produce allergies or attract insects and pets. It may also shed.

Your preference for a real tree is fine, thats your opinion. Considering the huge amount of artificial trees sold, there are plenty of people that enjoy having an artificial tree and saving money by using the same tree each year.

A bit like sex, nothing is better than the real thing but that doesn't stop people pleasuring themselves with toys.

Just because the tree isn't the real thing, doesn't mean it won't be any good. :wink:

Yes you are.


Deals are voted hot or cold for their value for money. Your personal dislike of an jtem is neither here nor there. These trees at this time of year are usually a lot more money and £30 is cheaper than others that are similar.

Has anyone got one or no where I can get one off these trees please

Mines gone up today and is brilliant, big and full, well worth the money. :sunglasses:

Beautiful <3

I got the same text message as above so I rang them I couldn't get the same tree as above due to being out of stock for home delivery but after them offering me all the snowy trees they had apart from the 10ft I went with http://www.homebase.co.uk/ProductDisplay?sType=SimpleSearch&pgGrp=search&searchTerm=369802&urlRequestType=Base&catalogId=10011&productId=711702&beginIndex=&resultCatEntryType=&langId=110&pageSize=12&storeId=10201 this one !!! HAPPY DAYS !!! £120 tree for £30 plus p&p

I got a text message today saying they couldn't fulfill my order which I placed online last week. I had to contact them and they offered me a refund or an alternative tree for the same price. I accepted the alternative tree which is £74. click for tree

14 left in stock at Sleaford, Lincolnshire. Just picked one up. The display one looked nice and for £30 it seemed a steal.

Just picked one up from Kingsway - Derby, a few still left. Thank you OP

Thanks, picked one up in store last night :smiley:

Yeah it's gone back to showing as £30. Still lots in stock where I live

I picked mine up yesterday, it was a battle and a half getting it to the car, as it's a long walk to the car park we use. But my word is this a beast of a tree, nice find OP...

Now showing as 'price pending' online. Can anyone confirm whether this is still available for £30 in store?

ah thanks for getting back to me just what i am looking for

x

​Got mine yesterday, yes can confirm that all branches are attached and just need spreading out, looks like a really full tree and worth the money although the snow does come off a bit when opening it out but so far well pleased, Cheers OP :smile:

hi can you tell me are the branches hinged to main stem ? not individual branches that have to be assembled
thanks

[quoe=Rye Wolfe]Picked one up tonight. Just put it together to check and unfortunately there is a part missing.
The top section of the tree has a square peg at the bottom for connecting to the mid section, the mid section should have an insert, at the top, with a square hole for the top section to fit into.
Mines missing the insert with the square hole so the top section just flops about.
Will have to return it tomorrow, hopefully a bad one in the batch.Just check your trees when you get them to make sure its all there and working, don't wait until December to find out if they are faulty.
Apart from that its a great tree.[/quote]

Picked one up instore today. Thank OP

Wife decided she wants artificial this year found this post and was fortunate to able to reserve the last one at our local homebase great price

have been looking at the balsamhill trees but I can't justify spending a couple of hundred on a tree.

​I know I'm a fussy cow lol..did you set yours up to see?

Mine wasn't sparse at all and I'm fussy ..it really is a good tree very wintry looking which I like

I've ordered online for home delivery. It was only £3.95 extra. Can't wait to put it up!

Great deal. These trees are definitely over £100 normally so heat added!
I've just reserved one. Thank you.

Picked mine up earlier it's an absolutely lovely tree and looks like the £100 it should be :smiley:

Collected it this evening. It looks great, especially for the price!

Thanks to the op

I've seen this deal shared a few times on Facebook now, on one of the posts there are 2k+ comments with people adding pictures of the tree up and most look really good...there are however one or two that make it look really sparse like it's a completely different tree.

Purchased thanks op. Can anyone recommend any pretty lights for it?

The picture you posted has gone again for some strange reason, even though you posted it again in a separate comment. The comment isn't there anymore :neutral_face:

Oh.. the first negative review so far I think.

​unfortunately I didn't get to build it,I called into another homebase and seen it..to me it's far to sparse ,its a nice tall tree but it just wasn't full enough for me so I returned it.

Got a pic? :smile:

Got myself one and I love it it's marvellous value and looks great

I've reserved mine. I was looking at trees last week in Homebase, and this is now half the price it was last week. Great.

Picked mine up today, very pleased at it for £30.

Thanks steph_new for the heads up. :innocent:

Can't see anything :neutral_face:

Be sure to show us!

I collected today, it looks very nice. Thanks your post.
Made a picture in store :

I just collected mine so gonna head home shortly and build it

Has no one still put it up? :disappointed::laughing:

Picked one up earlier box easily fits on back seat of my old ford focus

​Yes, that was me. Box is 110 x 38 x 36. Should fit across the back seat of most cars I'd reckon.

Cheers OP! Had enough of real trees. Only 3.95 delivery too! :smiley:

​lol that's me all over..I fiddle about with it for days after to the point I annoy myself.

​think someone said it's 110cm x40×40cm

Measuring tape ! That is so funny :smile:
Thankfully I'm not as bad as that , but do tend to get a little stressed out if branches aren't to my liking , get there eventually .

How big is the box ??? :O I'm picking mine up tomoz, but my car has a fixed boot....so may well be a struggle lol !

​whichever you like. you don't need to decorate the same way other people do. xx

​why?

​same here I'm a fussy cow with trees lol..my daughter says I have ocd with trees and decorations (if I see a gap it does my head in) though I'm not as bad as another girl I know she uses a measuring tape for each decoration

​why?

Not cheeky at all , silly that I didn't even think of taking pictures to put up for everyone. Sorry. I can say that the tree is really good , I can be really fussy about trees as some look gappy and scrawny but this is a excellent tree . Looking forward to putting it up.

​decorations

Can I ask.. would you guys put decorations on a tree like this or are you supposed to leave it plain?

Bought this today, put it up just to see what it looks like and really impressed with it! Not thin and sparse at all! Did take a photo but can't work out how to upload it but would deffo recommend this!

We did have some over the carpet but hoovered up quickly and wasn't stubborn to get up. I did only sort a few branches so when doing the whole tree I imagine loads will be on the floor ... doesn't Bother me to be honest. Kids enjoyed playing with it. Makes it all more christmassy . :smiley:

​you didn't happen to take any pics..(sorry if that sounds cheeky)

thanks for review did the white stuff come off easy as ppl have mentioned ?

Picked mine up earlier . Put it together , and sorted a few branches and i must say , the tree is really nice. Wasn't sure to get this tree but I'm glad I did . For the money I paid I have no complaints. Once all the branches are nicely done the tree will look good and full. Back in its huge box until the start of December. Thanks op

Bought a tree that looks like this one from Homebase half price £50 about 6 years ago. Does look nice when decorated & lit but drops a lot of white stuff when you put it up and pack away, every year I hope that will improve, no luck so far!

well based on people thinking it was the 10ft more expensive tree i'm still not sure

The lady on the collections desk said it was initially £100, reduced to £70 and now £30

sold out in Irvine. I can't wait to get mine up now!!

Well mines a 1series coupe so I'd say definitely lol

There's 11 left at Shawlands. I have just reserved one, which now leaves 10

If it looks really bad , i will be wrapping white tinsel around the spine to bulk it out.
Fingers crossed it will be fine tho

Thanks just picked mine up! Only 1 left at Shawlands

We have two too :smiley:

In the eyes of a young child whose parents may not be able to spend much more, it's probably the best Christmas tree ever.

that's a pity..it looked nice

Just been in to store having reserved one...didn't collect after seeing it on display. Looked like a £30 tree if you know what I mean...bit thin/sparse. Not terrible but just not good enough. Shame as great price.

thanks op I just reserved one ..I'm also dying to know what it looks like ie is it bushy and full as I hate sparse looking trees.

Great deal and I would love it but unfortunately it's not suitable if anyone in the house is asthmatic. :sunglasses:

heat just picked one up from home based Dartford thanks

Yep Mrscotchbonnet our house is very festive with 3 trees! We've had the other 2 for years tho.
Let's just hope we do get a pic of this one soon as mine isn't going up just yet
Your post made me chuckle too:D

Will it fit in an astra? :confused:

Got it thanks guys just picked it up and managed to carry it to the car and get it in.. happy days

This made me chuckle! Popping back on here every now and then to see if someone has been brave enough to put theirs up yet X)who'll crack first?

The other tree? :neutral_face:

Will someone grow a pair and get the damn thing up to show us all? Mine will be going up Tuesday when it arrives!

Just picked up my reserved one too. Many thanks. My children are under the instructions of no going near it when it's up!
They can decorate the other tree without the snow stuff on it

Thanks

Thanks just picked up one, looks like it's good quality as well

Decent! Thanks!

I love Homebases trees, always beautiful looking. If I hadn't bought a new slim tree last year I would we having one of these.

Got to love a Nissan CashCow

​fitted in back seat of a half nissan qashqai easily. kids had to walk home

​I'm going to eyeball it approx 110cm x 40cm x 40cm. Had to put the seats down in my car.

How big was the box and was it easy to carry ? Wondering If it will fit in my car

Ordered one each for myself and my mother-in-law. We were looking at similarly described ones in the local garden centre the other day for £80+

hopefully they look half decent!

thanks OP

Great find thanks just ordered

Minor, but its not 'brought' its 'bought' you bought the item from argos, not brought, brought is to do with bringing! Sorry I see this so much, really annoying.. :smiley:

Thank you reserved one.

Ordered

I used to think so too. After years of buying real trees, lugging it in to and out of the car, vacuuming the car out afterwards and finding damage, vacuuming up needles from non-shedding trees every day, finding insects in it, finding it balding and browning in places, water spilling everywhere because children or the cat knocks it over... oh and paying £50 every year for it.. our days of real trees are over. Buy a really nice artificial tree that will last years. Far less hassle and if you get a good one, much nicer looking. Not saying this is the tree to go for by the way.

Yep! Sometimes the tree wins!:smile:

To help the environment stick to a real tree - artificial has to last over 20 years to be better - these wont last that long

Yes, but you still cant beat a real tree!

Took this snap in store.

The "snow" comes off everywhere and sticks to everything possible... Beware!

I found this on Google from a now expired Gumtree ad. It might not be the same but looks close enough.

Thanks. Picked one up today.

Ordered cheers!

anyone have any photos not stock photo

Cheers, looks promising.

Been getting the real thing for the past few years, but tending towards a decent fake, to save cash and the environment.

Which leads me nicely into the Christmas tree that looks like a sex toy!:smile:

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/christmas-tree-looks-like-giant-4451907

A bit like sex, nothing is better than the real thing but that doesn't stop people pleasuring themselves with toys.

Just because the tree isn't the real thing, doesn't mean it won't be any good. :wink:

For the green option stick to a real tree - artificial ones cant be recyled

I got this last year, paid a little bit more and it's great value. Love the snow effect and looks decent.

cheers

Ordered. Thank you.

Looks awesome, shame they only have the 8ft in stock..

so tacky

Nothing is better than a real tree

Reserved to collect though no idea why as we always get a real tree!

Thanks OP reserved one to collect later

I bought this last year for £80 it's really nice

i'm confused ........so is it a good tree or is it pants ?

I'll pick mine up for £5 after Xmas, probs Jan 2nd

always had eye for a bargain

Have just reserved one to pick up tomorrow..has anyone got one of these trees ? Just wondering on the look and quality. Very cheap for a 7ft tree

Picture is a 10ft tree

When you click on it, the actual tree pic doesn't look great

bought one of these for about £15 in January in the sale, had it in the loft all year, looking forward to using it

Bought this tree this year and it is stunning up http://www.christmastreeworld.co.uk/artificial-christmas-trees/frosted-and-flocked-christmas-trees/7ft-snow-white-fir

Ordered thanks a lot

The picture is for the 10ft £175 tree that's why

http://www.homebase.co.uk/en/homebaseuk/christmas-shop/artificial-christmas-trees/artificial-christmas-trees/10ft-snowstorm-artificial-christmas-tree-369690

Sorry for the confusion I just google imaged the name of the tree and that pic came up! Worth checking out in store as picture on the website definitely doesn't do it justice!

Instore it says £60 marked down to £30.
Most of trees instore at Homebase had a range of discounts on them.

http://www.wilko.com/christmas-trees/wilko-best-christmas-tree-flocked-7ft/invt/0439859?gclid=CjwKEAiAmJvBBRDKpP724LigwngSJAAYRJXBd95gcJ55w9Fzots4zpUZQA4bp9yE_yKx-z8UHMndfxoCdOzw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

Does look very cheap when compared to prices elsewhere

I just brought the one in the picture from argos for £80 is he one from homebase the same as this photo or the photo it links to? was thinking of taking my one back to argos and getting this if its the same.

Agreed! Very misleading...

The tree in the picture is not the tree the link takes you to. The one pictured looks a lot more fuller at the bottom, the one the link takes you to looks thinner and taller

Picked one up tonight. Just put it together to check and unfortunately there is a part missing.
The top section of the tree has a square peg at the bottom for connecting to the mid section, the mid section should have an insert, at the top, with a square hole for the top section to fit into.
Mines missing the insert with the square hole so the top section just flops about.
Will have to return it tomorrow, hopefully a bad one in the batch.Just check your trees when you get them to make sure its all there and working, don't wait until December to find out if they are faulty.
Apart from that its a great tree.

just reserved mine

Thanks . That is very helpful. Picking mine up tomorrow. Great deal.

Bought this tree a few years ago very nice indeed and great price

Just ordered one and they have loads near me. Thanks

You can always bend the branches in against the wall. These are ok but all the snow comes off. Will last a couple of years though

Does anyone know if it's quite wide and full?

:smile: great find thank you

It's lovely. Thank you

Its very snow-stormy :smiley:

this tree is actually half decent. i was in a couple of weeks ago and took a pic of the box to remind me of which one to get. pretty sure it was 70 or 80 then as well. thanks for this
