Using this artificial tree is a breeze. First, find a suitable spot either indoors or in a covered outdoor area. Unfold the bendable branches and shape them according to your preference. There's no need to install lights as it's pre - lit. For maintenance, you can gently dust the tree with a soft cloth every few weeks. Keep it away from sharp objects to avoid damaging the branches or lights. When not in use, store it in a cool, dry place. Enjoy the beauty of this tree all year round!
