Holiday Time 7' Pre-Lit Shelton Pencil Tree vs Best Choice Products 6ft Pre-Lit Pencil Tree

Buy the Holiday Time Shelton if you want a tall, slim tree with LED lights that stay cool and last for years. Buy the Best Choice Products pencil tree if you want a shorter, lighter tree and don't mind incandescent bulbs. The Holiday Time has the stronger record: 4.8 from 2,813 ratings against 4.1 from 416. It also gives you an extra foot of height and 50 more lights in a footprint that is still only 19 inches wide. The Best Choice tree is simpler and lighter at 9.9 lb, but it has no written warranty and no NRTL safety listing, and its incandescent bulbs run hotter and use more power than LEDs.

  • Choose the Holiday Time Shelton if you need a 7-foot tree for a narrow spot and want warm white LED lights and a large, well-rated owner base.
  • Choose the Best Choice Products pencil tree if a 6-foot height suits your room and you want the lightest, easiest tree to move and store.

What reviewers say

Holiday Time 7' Pre-Lit Shelton Pencil Tree

  • 4.8 / 52,813 ratings

Owners rate it 4.8 out of 5 across more than 2,800 ratings, and the recurring praise is the slim shape and quick setup. Complaints center on how thin the branches look once the lights are on.

What people mention
  • FootprintPraisedBuyers pick it because the 19-inch base fits hallways and small rooms where a full tree won't.
  • Branch densityCriticisedOwners say 339 tips leave visible gaps, so it looks thin next to fuller trees.
  • SetupPraisedThe wrapped branches and pre-strung lights make assembly quick and tool-free.
  • LightsPraisedThe 300 warm white LEDs give a soft glow and need no extra stringing.

Best Choice Products 6ft Pre-Lit Pencil Tree

  • 4.1 / 5416 ratings

Rated 4.1 out of 5 from 416 ratings. Buyers mostly praise the slim footprint and the amount of light for the size, while critics call the branches sparse and the build flimsy.

What people mention
  • Shape and sizePraisedBuyers pick it for narrow spots and say the pencil profile fits where a full tree will not.
  • Branch fullnessCriticisedSeveral say the tree looks sparse and needs careful fluffing to cover gaps.
  • Build qualityCriticisedOwners describe the branches and stand as light and flimsy.
  • LightingMixed

Questions and answers

Which is better for a small apartment?
Both are pencil trees built for tight floors. The Holiday Time gives you a foot more height in the same narrow footprint; the Best Choice is lighter and shorter, which helps if ceilings are low.
Which tree lasts longer?
The Holiday Time should. LEDs are rated for far more hours than incandescent bulbs, and its owner ratings are stronger. The Best Choice bulbs will need replacing sooner and it carries no written warranty.
Is the Holiday Time worth stepping up to?
Yes for most shoppers. You get more height, more lights, LED bulbs and a much larger record of owner satisfaction. Step down only if 6 feet suits your space or you want the lighter tree.
Do the lights twinkle?
No. The Best Choice is constant light only, and the Holiday Time lists warm white LEDs with no light functions. Neither offers twinkle or dimming.
Can either be used outdoors?
No. Both are listed for indoor use. Keep them out of rain and direct weather.
How wide is the Holiday Time tree?
19 inches across at the base. That is what lets a 7-foot tree stand in an entryway or corner where a full tree would not fit.
