Is it possible to get a fat fake christmas tree?
I've always been a real tree junkie. We even carry it home and walk. Love the experience. But we've now got 3 kids, the youngest ones are 2 and 5 mos so we think it's time to convert however I'm not seeing anything that will make me happy. They're all so slim and so see three. My only criteria is that I don't want to see the pole in the middle and yet with all the ones we looked at at 3 stores I can always see the pole. Where are the really full round trees? Do they exist? or do I need to stick with real?

YES!!! I always had to have my real trees big and fat. When we went for a fake one, it cost me a little more but I got exactly what I liked (except for being 10 ft. tall only because we have 8 ft. tall ceilings-lol!!).
Harrows.

We also found a really nice full fake tree at Harrow's a couple of years ago. It was over $300 but it is very real looking and has been holding up nice.

We have a fake tree -- very full -- that looks and even FEELS real. A lot of people have commented on how nice it is and they think it's real.
We bought it a couple of years ago at Hicks Nursery. It was pretty pricey, but I figured worth the investment. We put our tree up early every year (Thanksgiving weekend) and leave it up through early January, so I wanted one that would look really good.
Hicks had a huge selection when we bought ours, and they had the nicest quality trees I had seen.
Previous fake trees we had bought for our old apartment seriously looked like Charlie Brown's sad, sickly tree pre-makeover.

We got ours from Harrow's as well. I've had several people comment that they thought it was real.

I think ours was about $400 but we were paying $80 for real trees at that time as I love them big and full. It has paid itself off already

I thought Harrows was the place to go but we went Sat to Carle Place and it was sad. All of them were so flimsy. Even the store itself was a disgrace. Didn't even look like a real store. Hardly any parking. Stinks like spoiled trash. No aisles or anything. Looks like a big empty warehouse where a sale was an afterthought. Looked like what you'd expect to see after xmas once all the stock is sold out. Trees were just lined up but not very attractive-still expensive just not as nice as I expected.
