An iron trunk and stand replace the thin plastic base that usually comes with a tree this size, and that is what keeps a 7.5-foot frame upright once ornaments go on. Dense PVC needles across 1346 branch tips build a full, lifelike shape with no gaps at the trunk line. It arrives unlit, leaving the light color, spacing and count to you. Three hinged sections open and close quickly, so assembly at the start of the season and packing at the end both stay short. Set it in a room corner where the branches can spread, and shape the tips outward layer by layer for the fullest profile.
