7.5 FT Slim Snow Flocked Pre-Lit Christmas Tree, 693 Tips, 300 LEDs, 9 Modes with Remote

A 7.5 foot tree normally spreads well over four feet at the base. In a condo, a rented flat or a room that already has a sofa in it, that means shifting furniture out for a month and edging round the tree every day.

This one holds the full height on a 2.8 foot footprint. At 20.5 pounds it can be carried in and set up by one person, and because the lights are already fitted nothing has to be wound round it afterwards.

The two numbers that matter

Seven and a half feet up, 2.8 feet across. Guides normally put a tree's width at more than half its height, so this one is far narrower than the standard. Leave a clear circle of about three feet, and check the ceiling clears 7.5 feet plus a topper.

How heavy the flocking is

This close up shows it better than any wide shot. The snow sits thick along the top of every branch and thins underneath, exactly the way it falls on a real tree. Because the tree is slim, the flocking reads as a column of white rather than a wide drift, which is a different look from a full flocked tree.

The colour setting, after dark

The maker's photographs show the tree both ways: warm white in some, full colour in others, run from the remote across nine modes. Colour against white flocking behaves differently from colour on green, because the light reflects off the snow and the whole column takes the tint.

What the maker leads on

Four claims, and the second is the real one: space saving. A 2.8 foot footprint at this height is the reason to choose it. The others follow from the build, a hinged structure across the trunk and a folding metal base rather than a plastic one.

Full height without the usual four feet of floor, so a corner or an alcove works.

Laid on thickly along the branches, so the tree reads white rather than green with a dusting.

Pre-strung on the branches. The manufacturer states the LEDs carry UL certification.

Chosen from the remote, so the setting can be changed without reaching into the branches.

Included with the tree, which is unusual at this size and price.

Counted by the manufacturer. A slim silhouette rather than a dense one, as the shape requires.

Branches stay on the pole and drop open as each section is raised into place.

Metal rather than plastic, folding flat for storage, holding a tall narrow tree steady.

Ships from a Canadian warehouse. Free shipping on orders over $150. Some remote areas, PO boxes and surcharge regions may be excluded or cost extra.

Return within 14 days of purchase, unused, in original condition and packaging.

Covered directly by the manufacturer under their warranty terms for material and manufacturing defects.

Seven and a half feet of presence in under three feet of floor, with nothing else needing to move.

Heavy flocking in a narrow column reads as a snow covered sapling rather than a wide drift.

Nine modes from the sofa, which is not common on a slim tree at this size.

What we stand behind

• The 693 tip count, the 300 LED count, the 7.5 ft by 2.8 ft size and the 20.5 lb weight come from the manufacturer's own specification list.
• The UL certification claim for the LEDs is the manufacturer's and is reported as theirs.
• The maker's own photograph carries a note that the decoration balls shown are not included.
• Ships from a Canadian warehouse, free shipping over $150. 14 day returns, unused and in the original packaging.

Are the lights warm white or coloured?

The manufacturer's photographs show the tree both ways, warm white in some and full colour in others, and the record states nine lighting modes selected on the remote. It does not spell out the exact colour list, so we describe what the images show rather than inventing a specification.

How much floor space does it need?

Two feet ten inches across, so a clear patch under three feet. On height, sizing guides suggest leaving about a foot above the tip for a topper, which means a 7.5 foot tree wants a 9 foot ceiling, or a low topper under an 8 foot one.

Will the flocking shed?

Some will, mostly while the tree is being carried or handled hard. Flocked tree care guides recommend assembling it in the spot it will stand, handling branches gently, and dusting with a soft duster from the top down rather than using a vacuum.

Is 693 tips enough at this height?

For a slim shape, yes. A narrow tree has far less surface to cover than a full one, and heavy flocking closes the gaps visually. Expect a neat white column rather than a thick fir, and spread every tip properly, which matters more at this density.
