Didn’t put a tree up last year because I w as recovering from.my second complete knee replacement. Our ceiling is only 7,5” high so I was in the final stages of decorating our 7” tree when it almost tipped over. I was trying to push it into the final spot it would occupy. My knees don’t let me have the mobility to get into positions easily that would have made moving the tree a more controlled affair. LOML declared we’re at the point of going to the artificial tree. We lost some family treasure “Decorations” that fell and broke. Some were close to 100 years old. We realize a nice artificial tree is expensive but we’re willing to do that. We just don’t know where to start looking, or what brands to look at, etc. Anyone out there been through this that could give some advice or even a couple brands to look at, web sites to check out? I looked at what HD sells and wasn’t too impressed. Thanks for any words of wisdom or guidance. Don M
