White changes what a tree does in a room - ornaments read against it instead of disappearing into dark needles. This one stands 7 ft tall and opens to 4 ft across the base, with 950 branch tips to fill out once they are bent outwards. The PVC needles are fire resistant, fade resistant and allergy resistant, and they recover their shape after a season folded in a box. Three hinged sections drop onto the pole without tools and the reinforced treetop takes a topper. The 18 in metal stand folds flat, with anti-slip pads under the feet to protect a floor. No lights are pre-strung, which leaves the color temperature to the buyer.
