Yes, we have an artificial tree, have had one since 84.
Pros: cost effective
easy to set up and take down
no needles
no fire hazard
Cons: no pine or balsam fragrance (understand you can get a spray if you want the smell)
At first I was not real excited about not having a fresh cut tree, after these several years, happy with the choice.
Tree looks real enough for the cats to still get into it.
