FAQs

Is this tree pre-lit?

No, this Artificial Slim Christmas Pencil Tree is not pre-lit. This allows you the freedom to choose and add your own string lights to match your desired style and ambiance.

What is the actual height of the tree?

The tree stands 5ft (150cm) tall, which is measured from the very top tip of the tree to the bottom of its sturdy metal stand.

How do I make the tree look fuller?

The key to a full-looking tree is proper 'fluffing.' After assembly, take time to gently spread and shape each individual branch and tip, bending them slightly outwards and upwards to fill in any gaps.

Is the snow flocking durable, or will it all fall off?

The snow flocking is designed to be durable. Some minimal shedding is normal, especially during the first setup or when handling, but the majority of the flocking will remain intact for many seasons.

Can I use this tree outdoors?

No, this Christmas tree is designed and intended for indoor use only. Exposure to outdoor elements could damage the materials and finish.

What material is the tree made from?

The branches are constructed from durable PVC, and the stand is made of robust metal, ensuring stability and longevity.

Does it come with a storage bag?

A storage bag is not included with the tree. It is recommended to keep the original packaging for storage, or purchase a separate Christmas tree storage bag.

Troubleshooting

Tree appears sparse or not full enough

The tree requires careful 'fluffing' (shaping) of its branches. Take time to spread out each individual branch and tip, bending them slightly outwards and upwards to fill in gaps and create a denser look.

Tree is wobbly or unstable

Ensure the metal stand is fully opened into an 'X' shape and that the eye bolt (if present) is securely tightened. Also, verify that all tree sections are firmly seated into each other and into the stand.

Snow flocking is shedding excessively

A small amount of flocking shedding is normal during the first setup and when handling the tree. Gently shake off any loose flocking outdoors or over a sheet. This shedding will decrease after the initial setup.

Difficulty disassembling the tree

To disassemble, reverse the setup steps. Gently pull each section apart. If a section is stuck, try a slight twisting motion while pulling. Ensure no branches are snagged.

Branches are sagging under ornament weight

This tree's slim design works best with lighter to medium-weight ornaments. For heavier items, hang them closer to the main stem of the branch or consider distributing them more evenly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting your Artificial Slim Christmas Pencil Tree ready for the holidays is a straightforward process.

Setup Instructions

Unpack: Carefully remove all tree sections and the metal stand from the packaging.
Assemble Stand: Open the metal stand until it forms an 'X' shape. Insert the eye bolt (if present) and tighten it slightly.
Add Base Section: Identify the base section of the tree (usually the widest bottom piece). Insert it firmly into the assembled metal stand.
Add Upper Sections: Continue adding the remaining tree sections, stacking them one by one into the section below, ensuring they are securely seated.
Shape Branches (Fluffing): Starting from the bottom and working your way up, gently spread out and shape each individual branch and tip. Bend the small branches outwards and upwards to fill in any gaps and create a full, natural appearance. This step is crucial for the tree's final look.
Decorate: Once shaped, your tree is ready for your favorite lights and ornaments!

Compatibility

Ornaments: Compatible with most standard Christmas ornaments. For heavier ornaments, distribute them evenly or place them closer to the main branch stems to prevent sagging.
Lights: This tree is not pre-lit. You can add your preferred string lights (LED or incandescent) to create your desired ambiance.
Space: Its slim 'pencil' design makes it highly compatible with small spaces.

Care & Maintenance

Cleaning: To remove dust, gently wipe branches with a soft, dry cloth or use a duster. Avoid harsh chemicals. For the snow-flocked areas, use extra care to prevent dislodging the flocking.
Storage: At the end of the season, remove all decorations. Disassemble the tree by reversing the setup steps. Compress the branches as much as possible without damaging them. Store the tree sections and stand in the original box or a dedicated Christmas tree storage bag, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Flocking: Some shedding of the snow flocking is normal, especially during initial setup. This will decrease over time.
