My Charlie Brown tree

Zhills — Wed, 04 Dec 2019 20:42:28 GMT

Took my new Christmas tree out of the box this weekend and what I received is not quite what I ordered. Thanks, Charlie Brown for sending yours.

Sorry, won't rotate!

P.S. This is my "beautiful Varerie Glistening Tree!"

I love a Charlie Brown tree. It has character.

Dear friend, if you straighten, fluff and decorate it, I think you'll have something much better than a CB tree!

I have the same tree in my bedroom. It looked like that when I took it out of the box and I fluffed it up and it looked fine. I'm sure you realize it has to be fluffed and adjusted.

It’s a bit hard to tell but I wonder if the branches just need to be moved around a bit. I have to do that with every tree I’ve ever purchased.

Oh my, I hope it will fluff , fluff , fluff into something beautiful.

It has been out of the box for several days. It won't fluff!!! I've tried several times. The branches are glued together!

I can' t believe I got a defective tree 2 years in a row! Last year, half of it was OK, the other half, like this and I returned it. This one is worse!

@Zhills

I understand, that is a sad looking tree and it wasn't inexpensive for its size. There are some trees that just won't fluff because of a mishaps during the manufacturing process (the branches glued together).

I'd call customer service and advise you are returning the tree as defective and why.

@Zhills

I feel your pain...if you were at my house last night you would have died laughing!

I was so excited to order this tree...I mean "mentally" I had it decorated already. I bought it in September but never thought I needed to open it to "rest"!

Fast forward ... 2 hours later I was ready to throw it out the door!!! Frustrated from "fluffing" and more....finally gave up🙄

Below is the pic of what it should look like and what it really looks like!!!

Talk about sparce and bare yup this tree!!!

This morning I spent another few hours "fluffing"...finally called company cuz' I honestly believed they forgot a few branches😳.

The rep was so nice. Told her my dilemma about couldn't get it to look like picture! Of course, I continued about my frustration. She said "well it takes a lot of work and hours to make it nice." What!!!! I told her you've got to be kidding and I was returning it--there went my "tree dream"!!!

She said "non-returnable" I said NO it's defective!

Bottom line: It did turn out nice after 11 hours of fluffing, readjusting branches & lots of bad words...

here is the almost finished tree: Tomorrow is another day!!!

I love your tree!

Edited:

What I meant is the directions should read : Dear Purchaser -- you'll need lots of patience & hours to make it beautiful like seen in catalog😉

My friends are now calling me "the crazy tree lady"!

@Zhills DH & I love VPH's glistening trees. They are so beautiful they don't need ornaments/decorations!

Too bad I didn't live close by I'd be more than happy to help you fluff/fix the branches for you.

This year I have 3 I used for decorating...2 - 3' (one each of multi & clear) and 1-5' multi. We love our trees so much we have back-ups/spares of all 3 of them!

Here are a few pics I just took...

I bought the tree I like. Here is last year's tree. I should have a whole tree like the good side of this one!

@Zhills I can't see the picture. I just have a square with a red "X" in the middle. I'm on a Mac using Safari. I also checked using Firefox and can't see it.

Sorry. I've seen that with some pictures. These are clear on my PC with Win7. Don't have a clue how to fix it!

@Zhills Personally I think your new tree is cute and will fill in once you add some ornaments. You know me, if it looked bad I'd say so.
