National Tree Company Dunhill Fir vs Holiday Time Madison Pine 6.5' Pre-Lit Tree

The Dunhill Fir is the fuller, more realistic-looking tree and the better pick if appearance is your priority. It is wider at 55 inches with 650 LED lights and 10 light colors and actions, and long-time real-tree buyers say it looks like the real thing. The Madison Pine is the safer, simpler build: hinged branches, a metal stand included, SureBright lighting that keeps the rest lit when a bulb fails, and a 2-year limited warranty. Owners of both report some light sections that did not work, so check every section before you decorate.

• Choose the Dunhill Fir if you want the fullest, most realistic tree and a wide light show with many colors and effects.
• Choose the Madison Pine if you want easier setup, a stand in the box, color-changing LEDs and a written warranty.
