Setting up your 5ft snow-flocked artificial Christmas tree is a breeze. First, take all the pieces out of the box. Fix them together one by one. After that, start spreading out the branches. You'll want to make sure to spread out all the individual tips for the best and fullest look. When it comes to placement, use the included base to keep the tree standing upright and stable. Avoid placing it near heat sources like radiators or fireplaces, as this could damage the tree. For maintenance, if the tree gets dusty, you can use a soft brush or a low - power vacuum cleaner to gently clean it. With proper care, this tree will be a part of your Christmas celebrations for years to come.
