Homcom Christmas Tree - 6Ft, Flocked, Pencil, Auto Open, Steel Base

No, the Homcom 6Ft Flocked Pencil Christmas Tree is unlit, allowing you to add your preferred lights and create your custom display.

The tree stands 6 feet (180cm) tall, including the stand.

The maximum diameter of the tree is approximately 60cm (23.6 inches), giving it its slim 'pencil' profile.

Initial assembly of the sections is quick, but you should allocate 30-45 minutes for thorough shaping and fluffing of the branches to achieve a full, natural appearance.

Yes, the tree is made from flame-retardant plastic for added safety. However, it should always be kept away from open flames.

No, under no circumstances should real candles or any open flames be used on or near this artificial tree, despite its flame-retardant properties.

To clean, gently dust the branches with a soft cloth or a feather duster. Avoid using water or wet cloths, as this can affect the flocked finish.

Auto-open branches are hinged, meaning they are attached directly to the center pole and automatically fall into place when you assemble the tree sections. This significantly reduces the time needed for initial setup compared to trees with hook-on branches.

The key to a full tree is thorough branch shaping. Spend an additional 15-20 minutes carefully separating and fluffing each branch tip, working from the inside out and shaping upward. This creates volume and hides gaps.

Ensure the steel base is fully opened and locked into place, and all tree sections are firmly seated. Verify that the tree is placed on a completely flat and stable surface, such as hardwood or firmly carpeted flooring, not on an uneven rug or soft surface.

A small amount of flocking shedding during initial setup and storage is normal. Gently shake the tree outdoors before assembly to remove any loose particles. Once set up and decorated, shedding should be minimal.

While durable, the slim profile means individual branches may not support very heavy ornaments. Distribute your decorations evenly across the tree, placing heavier items closer to the trunk where branches are strongest.

Sometimes branches can be compressed during shipping. Gently assist any stubborn branches by pulling them outwards. The auto-open feature provides the initial structure, but manual adjustment is always needed for the best look.
