SHATCHI 8Ft Green Alaskan Pine Christmas Tree With Metal Stand

Thanks to its 'wrapped construction' where branches are pre-attached, the physical assembly of sections is very quick, usually 5-10 minutes. However, allow an additional 30-60 minutes for thorough 'fluffing' and shaping of the branches to achieve a full look.

No, this SHATCHI Alaskan Pine tree is not pre-lit. It is a bare tree, allowing you to customize it with your own choice of lights and decorations.

This means the material used for the tree tips has been treated to resist ignition and slow the spread of fire, providing an added layer of safety. Always use caution with electrical lights and open flames near any Christmas tree.

The key to a full-looking artificial tree is proper 'fluffing'. After assembling each section, individually bend and spread out every branch and its smaller tips. Work from the inside out and bottom to top, manipulating the branches to fill any gaps.

100% Virgin PVC refers to PVC plastic that has not been recycled. This typically means a higher quality, more durable, and often more vibrant material, ensuring the tree maintains its look for many seasons.

This artificial Christmas tree is designed for indoor use. Outdoor exposure to harsh weather conditions (wind, rain, snow) could damage the materials and shorten its lifespan.

A dedicated storage bag is not typically included with the tree. It is recommended to keep the original box for storage or purchase a separate Christmas tree storage bag for convenience and protection.

Ensure you are connecting the sections in the correct order (usually indicated by labels A, B, C, etc., from bottom to top). Check that the poles are perfectly aligned and fully inserted into each other.

The tree requires thorough 'fluffing' after assembly. Spend time bending and spreading out each individual branch and its smaller tips to fill in gaps and create a dense, natural appearance. This is a common and important step for artificial trees.

Double-check that the plastic stand protector is correctly installed on the feet of the metal base. If not included or lost, place a rug or protective mat underneath the stand.

While the tree is sturdy, ensure you are distributing heavier ornaments evenly. If a specific branch sags, try moving the ornament or securing it closer to the main branch stem. Re-fluffing can also help distribute weight better.

Verify that the metal stand is fully open and positioned on a flat, level surface. Ensure the bottom section of the tree is securely and evenly seated within the stand's center pole.
