Is the Costway 5 ft tree worth it?

It is a low-cost way to get a lit tree with decorations built in. Weigh that against the 3.4 out of 5 rating and the 90-day parts warranty.

How wide is it, and will it fit a corner?

The base is 16 inches across and the tree is shaped for corners. It suits small rooms, but it looks thin from the side.

Are the lights replaceable?

The 250 LEDs are pre-strung, and failed strands are hard to repair. The parts warranty covers only 90 days.

Does it come with ornaments?

It includes pinecones and berries. Ornaments and a tree topper are not included.

Can I use it outdoors?

No. Costway lists it for indoor use only.

Christmas trees usually drop in price during November and December sales. Check the price history before buying.

Our take on the Costway 5 ft Pre-Lit Artificial Christmas Tree with 250 LED Lights

A 5-foot pre-lit artificial tree with 250 LED lights, 408 tips, and a slim 16-inch corner footprint. It comes decorated with pinecones and berries, so it needs little added trim. Buyers rate it 3.4 out of 5 from 105 ratings, so expect a mixed reception on fullness and light reliability.
