12 FT Pre-Lit Hinged Artificial Christmas Tree with 2517 Mixed PVC and PE Branch Tips

A tree cut entirely from flat PVC strip reads as a single shade of green from across the room. The bigger the tree, the more obvious it gets, because there is more of that one texture to look at.

This one mixes soft moulded PE leaves with verdant PVC needles, which the manufacturer shows side by side in its own photography. The PE catches light on its rounded surface while the PVC fills the space behind, so the foliage has more than one tone in it.

Two kinds of needle, side by side

The manufacturer puts the two leaf types next to each other so you can see the difference. The PE leaf is moulded with a rounded edge and a spine down the middle. The PVC needle is cut flat and fringes out from the wire. Buying guides describe exactly this pairing: PE on the outside for shape, PVC behind it for density.

Twelve feet, measured against a six foot man

The drawing puts a six foot figure beside the tree, which is the quickest way to understand what twelve feet actually looks like in a room. The spread is 4.3 ft at the bottom branches and the folding base is 3.7 ft. The adapter cord is 8.4 ft long.

800 lights on 2517 tips

Lit, the warm white beads are spread through the foliage rather than concentrated at the front. 800 lights on a tree this size is a softer, less electric look than the brightest trees in the range, which suits a living room more than a shop window.

The two parts that make setup quick

Two details do most of the work. The quick power connector joins the sections at any angle, so there is no plug to find and line up. The hinges hold each branch to the pole, so a section opens into shape as you lift it instead of being built branch by branch.

Enough foliage to fill a twelve foot frame without gaps showing through to the pole.

Soft moulded PE leaves and flat cut PVC needles on the same branch for varied texture and shade.

Pre-strung and wired through the trunk, so no string is hung by hand.

360 degree connection between sections, no plug to align in the dark.

Each branch stays attached and swings down as the section is raised.

Splits into five parts plus the base for carrying and for flat storage.

A 3.7 ft base with a pre-assembled screw, no hole alignment needed.

Included for assembly, which matters most on the lowest, stiffest branches.

Twelve feet needs about thirteen and a half feet of room before a topper goes on.

The two leaf types are the reason this one holds up when people stand next to it.

Bright enough to read from across a room, and quick enough to put up before opening.

What we stand behind

• The decorations in the lifestyle photography are not included. Only the tree and its own lights come in the box.
• Height, spread, base width and the 8.4 ft cord come from the manufacturer's dimension drawing.
• PE and PVC leaf types are shown in the manufacturer's own comparison image.

• 14 day returns, unused and in the original packaging.

What is the difference between PE and PVC needles?

PVC needles are cut from flat sheet and fringe out along the wire, which is how artificial trees get their density cheaply. PE needles are moulded in a shape closer to a real needle, so they catch light on a curved surface. Buying guides recommend the mix you get here: PE where the eye lands on the outside, PVC filling in behind it.

How much room does it need on the floor?

It spreads 4.3 feet across at the bottom branches, over a folding base of 3.7 feet. Measure a circle of about four and a half feet and keep the back branches clear of a curtain or a radiator.

Is 800 lights enough for a twelve foot tree?

It is a softer level than the brightest trees of this height, which run past a thousand. If you want a shop window look, plan to add a string of your own. If you want a lit living room tree that does not glare, 800 warm white bulbs spread over 2517 tips is a comfortable level.

How should it be stored?

Break it down into the five sections, fold the base and keep the lot somewhere cool and dry. Next year, shape it from the bottom up as you build each section, twisting the tips out from the central branch so the gaps close before you start hanging anything.
