Oh, that's a good idea, too. That way you can use your own decorations.
You could also add decoration to the other one but the bones would be in place! It's a great idea. If I could actually see one, I might get one of these.
After the kids were grown and gone, I did turn into a bit of a Grinch as far as the holiday decorating goes. It was so much easier to let them have at it and think it was their idea. 
They do sell the special bags, but you can use generic saran wrap. Works great. Just need a shed tall enough, which I have. So much easier for set up.
It is a great idea and they've got some good sales on them from what I found--some for only $80 fully decorated--but I do wonder about what they look like. Some fake trees are just too fake for my taste. I have a realistic looking one but no desire to put it up or a good space to do it at the moment even if I did.
The casters to move it around would be a huge help, too. I do have a shed but might be a bit of a PITA to get it in/out with snow/ice on the ground as we don't have a paved walkway out to it. Would have to find a spot in the garage.
Wait till the after Christmas sales. Some of the newest styles are so realistic.
Lack of space- put the tree up outside by a large window. Did that one year with Natural decorations for the wild critters. Had to "tie- anchor" it or else the coons would have found a way to gather together and haul it away!!
If I didn't have a 10 year old, there'd be no tree. Bah humbug.
Welcome to my world.
Mines not that realistic, so I sweep up all the dead leaves from the yard, and dump them on the living room carpet.
In reading, they say they are different in texture and feel than the other artificial trees, but once you added a few decorations of your own, how much do you really see of the tree?
Ah....nothing like the smell of a real tree to put you in the Christmas spirit.......
It depends on the tree. Cat p*ss pine is not so good.
It's all in the color. Maybe I just never had enough decorations on some of the not so good ones, but you could tell it was fake whereas the one I have now looks pretty realistic even without the decorations as the color is more of a blue green and the branches can be adjusted to create a shape that's more like real trees.
For sure. These seem to be a softer textile so they can collapse.
Ah....nothing like the smell of mold and mildew when unpacking the artificial tree from storage......
Where are you storing your tree? I have no mold or mildew on my wonderful artificial tree!
I got my tree Saturday. Took hours, trudged through the snow and ice and had some puddles to contend with after all the snow and ice melted off it. Looks pretty though......smells good too....
