Using this 7 - foot snow - flocked artificial Christmas tree is a breeze. First, assemble the three pieces together. Thanks to the 'auto - open' hinge design, the branches will fall into position on their own. Then, you can gently bend the branches to shape them according to your preference. Since it doesn't come with lights, you can choose your favorite lights to adorn the tree. Hang your ornaments on the bare branches to create a personalized Christmas look. For safety, always keep the tree away from naked flames, even though it's flame retardant. When the holiday season is over, carefully disassemble the tree and store it in a dry place. If there's any dust on the tree, you can use a soft brush to gently clean it. That way, you can use this beautiful tree for many more Christmas seasons to come.
