Two needle types give this 8-ft pre-lit artificial Christmas tree its depth: a rigid PVC core layer holds the shape while softer TPE tips in a second texture and shade sit on the outside. 1470 branch tips build a dense profile and 470 warm white LED lights come pre-strung, so the tree lights up as soon as the 3 hinged sections are stacked. Flexible hinges swing each limb into position with almost no manual shaping. A crossed metal base spanning 20-in keeps the 25.5-lb tree upright right through the season.
