We are not long-term owners of these trees, and we do not publish owner testimonials. Instead, this artificial Christmas tree long term owner review guide turns the issues owners most often face after several seasons, such as failing lights, sagging hinges, shedding and torn boxes, into a checklist, then scores six trees on design features that address those issues.
Scores come from listing details measured against that checklist, following our editorial policy. For our separate year-by-year view, see our long term review guide. For more choices, see our main best artificial Christmas tree guide.
