I Never Thought I'd Choose an Artificial Christmas Tree over a Real One, but These Faux Wayfair Trees Have Me Thinking Otherwise
Robust, highly-rated, and on sale for Way Day, these artificial trees look just as good as the real thing
For as long as I can remember, I've preferred real Christmas trees over artificial alternatives. With their fresh scent, rich color, and dense foliage, how could an artificial tree compare?
That was my opinion before I moved into my own place and had to undergo the immense hassle, constant maintenance, and expense that comes along with choosing a real Christmas tree. I quickly realized that maybe artificial trees aren't so bad after all. However, there was one thing stopping me from buying one of my own – the overly fake look. But that's where Wayfair comes in.
On a search for the perfect tree, I stumbled upon Wayfair's collection of artificial trees. Not only are these trees large, robust, and as good-looking as real trees, but lots are highly rated by previous buyers. Plus, many of these artificial trees are significantly discounted for Wayfair's Way Day sale.
