The box of the Pure Living artificial Christmas tree was slightly damaged, which can happen during delivery. However, the product itself was undamaged and showed no signs of damage.

In terms of the sustainability of the packaging, the fact that no superfluous packaging waste was used is a positive aspect. The packaging consists of a compact cardboard box and the plastic material was only used to hold the necessary small parts together.

The contents of the packaging corresponded exactly to the information in the product description. All tree parts, screws and the stand were included. It was particularly pleasing that a hexagon socket spanner was supplied directly for assembly, so that no additional tools were required. A spare wing nut was also included, which is very practical if you lose one.

The enclosed operating instructions were well structured and easy to understand. It contains clear pictures that explain the assembly step by step. There is also the option of accessing a video via a QR code, which visually supports the assembly of the tree. Overall, the instructions are easy to understand and ensure smooth assembly.

Overall, the first impression of the artificial Christmas tree from Pure Living is positive, as the product is as specified, attractive assembly instructions are included and environmental protection has been taken into account.

The artificial Christmas tree impresses at first glance with its realistic appearance. The colouring of the branches is authentic and makes the tree look deceptively real, creating a festive atmosphere in the living area. The combination of PVC branches and high-quality injection-moulded PE tips gives the tree a natural look.

During processing, it is noticeable that the transitions between the two parts of the trunk are not completely clean. However, this small blemish can be easily concealed by the customisable branches and does not detract from the overall appearance of the tree. For everyday use, this should therefore be of little consequence, especially as the tree makes a very high-quality impression overall.

The stability of the tree is also remarkable. Despite its lightness, the tree proves to be very stable, which is mainly due to the robust tree stand. This ensures that the tree has a firm stand even when decorated and does not tip over easily, and the sustainability of the product should also be mentioned as a particularly positive aspect. The tree is not only reusable, but also comes with a storage bag that allows space-saving storage after the Christmas period. By using durable materials such as PVC and PE injection moulding, the product is expected to last a long time , making it an environmentally friendly alternative to a new natural tree planted every year. In addition, helpful customer service is available both by telephone and email. According to Amazon, you can also take advantage of a free return service should any problems arise.

The Pure Living artificial Christmas tree was easy to assemble in just under 20 minutes without any additional tools. The enclosed instructions were clearly formulated and guided us through the individual steps, which made assembly much easier. The assembly was also successful with the help of the video.
The distribution of the branches is also impressive. The branches are evenly and realistically distributed so that no annoying gaps or unsightly asymmetries could be recognised when assembled. This realistic distribution contributes to the deceptively realistic appearance of the tree and ensures a harmonious overall picture.
With regard to the load-bearing capacity of the branches, the test showed that even with extensive decoration, only minimal deformation of the branches occurred. This affected neither the stability nor the visual appearance of the tree. Even heavy Christmas baubles or fairy lights could be attached without the branches appearing unstable.
The quality of the needles was also impressive. Although a closer look revealed minimal deviations in colour or shape, these were so slight that they were hardly noticeable. Viewed from a distance, the needles look almost real, which significantly enhances the overall impression of the tree.
Another important point was the safety of the construction. The tree stood securely and stably throughout the entire test period. There were no signs of instability and no risk of injury was detected. This gives the reassuring feeling that the tree is safe, even if there are children or pets in the household.
To summarise, the simple assembly, stable and safe construction and realistic appearance make the Pure Living artificial Christmas tree a good choice for anyone who wants a long-lasting, low-maintenance and visually appealing artificial tree.

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the artificial Christmas tree from Pure Living with an average of 4.4 out of 5 stars.
The wooden stand is often criticised as being wobbly in some cases and the tree sometimes arrives in damaged packaging. The assembly is also described in some reviews as time-consuming and more complicated than stated. The workmanship of the stand, which is made of cheap-looking wood, is also criticised. Some customers also point out minor defects such as broken tips.
Many like the realistic appearance of the tree, especially after careful assembly. The branch density and the ability to easily adapt the tree to the spatial conditions were also positively emphasised. Customers also praise the longevity of the tree, as it hardly loses any needles even after several years and still looks good.
In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the tree looks realistic, especially when the branches are bent apart correctly. The structure and stability were also convincing.


Prices of up to around €1200 are charged on the internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available from around €30 . The artificial Christmas tree from Pure Living is therefore currently in the lower price segmentwith a price of €249.95. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
