7ft Prelit Tree where the branches 'fall' into place

We've moved house this year so are investing in a new tree. Can manage a 7ft one and would like it to be prelit. Ideally I don't want one where you have to faff around putting on individual branches (do you even do this with a prelit? Confused ) so want one where you pop the top half into the bottom half and the branches just fall down and get fluffed out.

Suggestions?

We have done exactly the same, new house has much more space so I finally get a nice big tree. It depends on budget I've been looking at Balsam Hill, which look lovely , they have some offer on at the min but are still pricey.

I'm watching for suggestions too as my tree takes forever to do.

Emma-are the balsam hill ones affordable?

Mine is like this, it's a tall slim pre-lit tree from Homebase (a couple of years ago). It comes in 3 sections and the lighting cable from each section connects into the next section. Takes about 5 minutes to assemble and 5 hours to tweak and decorate to perfection-.

I splashed out on a balsam hill one last year. Am very happy with it

It is still a faff as you need to fluff the branches but it's still easier than having to insert the branches and then fluff

It's also prelit which is also really lovely, though took a while to figure out the connections. Also goes back into the bag very easily.

I went for this in the end, bit more than I wanted to spend but I didn't want to compromise and go for either a smaller tree or an unlit one

For anyone interested in the Balsam Hill trees, I bought one two years ago and remember being emailed a 20% off code in November. I had signed up to their website and it was additional to any sale promotions they had at the time.
