Great 'Best Value Artificial Trees' Hunt

silvertree

Don't suppose anyone has any of the others from B&Q, such as the 7ft Vermont? Its so hard to tell what these trees are like just looking at a photo, we really want a nice full one but now those Eigers are sold out! Any help appreciated!

I've just maqnaged to hunt down one of the Eiger Trees at my local B & Q.
I did buy a 6ft pre lit tree from Argos today @ £52 and the lights dont work so its going back tomorrow.Plus it looks nothing like the pic on the Argos website.
I have spent weeks looking for a fab tree and am losing the will to live cos i cannot find the perfect tree:eek:

Keep a lookout for the Eiger tree as my local B&Q had new stock in today.
I've got mine now but haven't put it up yet.

We bought a beautiful tree a few years ago in town and last year the blue lights on (L.E.D)the branches stopped chasing round if you know what I mean? But it is still a lovely tree so we have kept it and it is up again this year and still looks great.

Hi!
Just wanted to say thanks to the peeps who recommended the Eiger tree from B&Q.
Hubby just put ours up and it looks bloody fab!!!
Really,really,really pleased with it...it was well worth £49,I would have glady paid more for it.
Only thing we did do was saw a bit off the bottom pole as the tree was just a tad too high but it looks ok now.

I bought an Asda Smart Price tree for £1! Doesn't look too bad, it's 2ft if you want a cheapy one for an extra display or a spare table somewhere.

Asda has pretty good trees in black, silver or green for £3 as well. Apparently 3ft but look taller to me!

Mine was an el-cheapo absolute base range (think I paid like £20 for it) one from Homebase a couple of years ago - has survived a psychotic feline tripod's attempts to bat all the baubles off (a disabled cat hanging off the bottom branches makes a certain uniquely classy tree ornament) and climb it for a good few years now and, considering how little I paid for it - looks about as good as any of the more expensive ones around.

Might trade it in for a slimline one next year though as, depending where I live, it takes up a lot of the room (I don't tend to fold the branches at the back next to the wall down fully to reduce how far into the room it comes). Plus I fancy a change - had blue and silver for a good few years now (I'm one of these tree control freaks who doesn't allow anything that ruins the colour scheme on the tree - unlike my mum who has a tree ornament from every holiday she's ever been on).

Now I need some more good silver or dark blue tinsel for it - had some gorgeous stuff from the now great departed Woolies - but not enough when I decided I couldn't be bothered doing the draped beads on it this year for once. Can't find similar quality tinsel anywhere at a price I'm prepared to pay.

I had a look in homebase and wasn't impressed with what they had left so headed to B7Q. They do have some gorgeous trees, but being on a budget I got a decent 6ft tree fro £16.98

6ft Woodland Pine

Cheap and nice up, and not as sparse as some I've seen.
