To anyone who has previously had a real Ikea tree

[PsychicPam]

Are they nice looking trees?
Do you get to choose which one you want then the are warped or are they already wrapped flatpacked and you don't see what it's like?

Thanks

I got one last year. It was alright. They were mostly wrapped up in that netting stuff but the staff are helpful if you want to look at them. I went so I could get the voucher then forgot to use the bloody thing.

Thanks

Do they have a stand?

I had one last year. They are ok, not the best shape but worth it for the price. Similar size ones near me were £50 so I thought I’d cope with a gappy tree for the price difference!

My DM did last year and it was stunning! I'm sure she got a voucher for in-store or something too, she was thrilled with it.

We had an Ikea one last year.It was 6ft and a good shape lasted from about 8th Dec to new year before drooping . Amazingly also managed not to lose the voucher and spent it in February .

We got one once, absolute bargain... we did choose and then it was wrapped. It did drop needles like mad though, from as soon as we got it home.

We've got one the last two years. Chosen before being wrapped. Lasted the whole of December with very little needle drop. We do chop the end off it and keep it watered though.

We have been very happy with them and will get one again this year.

We had one a couple of years ago, which was fine, we saw it unwrapped before buying. It was when they were £25 with a £20 off voucher. In more recent years they've sold out before we're ready to get one as we don't put our tree up until last weekend before Christmas.

I'm not sure how well they'd last regarding needle drop if you put them up at the beginning of December, I can't remember what variety it is they sell but generally cheaper trees drop more.
