Holiday Time 7' Pre-Lit Shelton Pencil Tree vs Pencil Tree Prelit Clear LED Christmas Tree

Buy the Holiday Time Shelton if you need a tall, narrow tree for a room with high ceilings but little floor space. Its 7-foot height and 300 warm white LEDs give a fuller, brighter display than the 5-foot Pencil Tree. The Pencil Tree wins on frame quality: a galvanized steel frame and non-flammable, rounded-tip PVC needles are sturdier and safer than the Shelton's plastic stand and unspecified needle material. The Shelton's 4.8 rating from over 2,800 owners is strong evidence it holds up in real homes; the Pencil Tree has too little owner feedback to judge.

• Choose the Holiday Time Shelton if you want a 7-foot tree that fits a 19-inch-wide corner, entryway or narrow room and comes with 300 warm white LEDs and a stand in the box.
• Choose the Pencil Tree if a 5-foot tree is enough for your space and you want a steel frame with non-flammable, rounded-tip needles for a busy household or a commercial setting.
