FAQs
Can I use this Christmas tree outdoors?
No, this 7ft Flocked Fir Christmas Tree is designed exclusively for indoor use. Exposure to outdoor elements like rain, snow, or direct sunlight can damage the flocking and materials.
How do I store the tree after the holidays?
To store, disassemble the tree into its sections, gently compress the branches, and place it back into its original box or a specialized Christmas tree storage bag. Store in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures and moisture.
Is the flocking durable, or will it all fall off?
The flocking is designed to be durable for multiple seasons. While some minimal shedding is normal, especially during initial setup and packing away, it should not all fall off. Careful handling will preserve the snow-effect finish.
How long does it take to assemble this tree?
Thanks to the hinged branches, the basic assembly is quite quick, typically 10-15 minutes. However, 'fluffing' the branches to achieve a full, realistic look can take an additional 15-30 minutes, depending on your desired fullness.
Can I add my own lights to this tree?
Yes, this tree comes unlit, allowing you to customize it with your favorite string lights. We recommend LED lights for energy efficiency and reduced heat output.
What are the exact dimensions of the tree?
The approximate dimensions are 7 feet (213cm) in height and 3.5 feet (105.4cm) in diameter at its widest point.
Troubleshooting
Tree doesn't look as full as expected after assembly.
The key to a full-looking tree is proper 'fluffing.' Spend ample time separating and spreading out each individual branch tip. Work from the inside out and bottom to top, ensuring all gaps are minimized.
Flocking is shedding excessively during setup or handling.
A small amount of flocking shedding is normal during initial setup and when handling the tree. Gently shake off any loose flocking. If shedding continues to be significant, try to handle branches more carefully. Regular vacuuming around the tree base can help manage fallen flock.
The tree feels unstable once fully assembled.
Ensure the stand is fully opened, all screws are tightened, and the tree sections are firmly seated into each other and the stand. Always place the tree on a flat, level surface. Avoid placing it on uneven flooring or thick carpets that could compromise stability.

Setup Instructions 1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all tree sections and the stand from the packaging. 2. Assemble Stand: Open the sturdy base and tighten any screws or bolts to ensure it's firm and stable. Place it on a flat, level surface. 3. Insert Bottom Section: Place the largest, bottom section of the tree into the assembled stand. Ensure it sits securely. 4. Extend Branches: Allow the hinged branches on the bottom section to fall into place. 5. Assemble Remaining Sections: Insert the middle and top sections in sequence, allowing their hinged branches to extend. 6. Fluff Branches: Starting from the bottom, gently separate and spread out each small branch tip to fill any gaps and achieve a full, natural appearance. This step is crucial for the tree's final look. ## Compatibility This tree is for indoor use only. It is not designed or rated for outdoor weather conditions. ## Care and Maintenance 1. Cleaning: To remove dust, gently wipe the branches with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive moisture, which could damage the flocking. 2. Storage: After the holiday season, gently compress the branches. Disassemble the tree into its original sections. Store all components in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. A dedicated Christmas tree storage bag is highly recommended to protect the flocking and branches for future use.
