5ft silver pop-up tinsel Christmas tree, unlit, spiral branches

About this product

Silver tinsel spiral branches slot onto a pole fixed to the base, forming a 5ft (1.5 m) tree. The pack holds 4 detachable steel pipes, 4 polypropylene supporting stands and the spiral branches, and the listing says it takes less than 5 minutes to set up. It arrives unassembled and has no lights.

The gap between neighbouring spiral branches is where ribbons, ornaments and holiday lights are tied on. Weighing 880 g, it comes apart again for storage and takes little space. The listing suggests a corner of a room or the side of the stairs.

What to use it for

Put it in a corner or by the stairs, as the listing suggests, and tie on ribbons, baubles or string lights to dress it. With no lights of its own, any lights are an extra purchase.

Care and safety

Take the branches off the pole and separate the pipes and stands for storage. Keep the silver tinsel dry and flat so it does not crumple.
