Dennis Basso MG trees

Susan Louise · ‎03-14-2010

We recieved 2 gold sets of these yesterday. Since I wasn't all that impressed just from the video and pics, it was the reviews that sold me on giving them a try...so glad I did!

I am absolutely gob-smacked at their awesomeness...stunning, classy, gorgeous! They go up a whole other level when lit. I am so glad someone on another thread posted about these trees. Unfortunately I forgot which thread and who to thank...

The item # is H202844...

They are on the expensive side, but they are quality heavy glass...not plastic

@Susan Louise, I also got those trees from Dennis Basso. Honestly, they are one of my best purchases. They are pricey but you can tell they are high end quality when you see them. Mine came earlier last week and so far the timers are working just right. I've looked at those trees for a while and just decided to go ahead and order and glad I did. They really do look a lot like murano.

@lucymo I wish they would restock them in silver, but my guess is that this looks like an item that is being retired and won't be coming back. One reason is because they never restocked the silver from last year...many times that is a sign when a color doesn't get restocked.

I don't know if anyone remembers this or not, but someone here who shops at Sam's Club discovered a similar set there last year, in Silver. I bookmarked the link because I was tempted to buy them, but didn't. I don't know if the quality is the same, but I do think they would coordinate nicely with the DB trees. $39.98 for the set.

@SHOPR Yes, I remember that set being posted last year...

What I have noticed from nearly all illuminated products other than those I have bought from the Q is that they don't have the timer option.

The set you posted the link to, they are sold out online (from last year I assume). Folks that are members of Sam's Club can of coarse check their local store to see if there were any leftovers from last year. I'm not a member myself.

I also found Amazon selling the same set for much more (also showing no timer option) HERE. As tempted as I am to get them, I'm passing because of the no timer issue

One other thing I'd like to mention about these trees is that when lit, they almost look champagne...and can pass for both gold or champagne in a vignette

True, but they do have a remote, which a lot of people might find helpful. Oh, and non-members can buy things online. I think there is a 10% surcharge in addition to the regular price. Going by memory here.

I think you are right and that's why I decided if I want them I need to order now before they're gone. I think they are better in person than on air so if people could see how beautiful they really are, they would go in a hurry. I'd order a silver set too if that was available. I got one set trying not to add more decor, but thinking of getting a second set as they are special.

@SHOPR OMG! The set of trees does have a remote! I totally missed that...buy...don't buy...buy...
