Using this 5-foot pre-lit pink artificial Christmas tree is super easy. First, take out all the separate pieces and start assembling them. The 'auto-open' hinge design will help the branches fall into place automatically. Then, just bend the branches a bit to get the shape you like. Next, add your favorite decorations and a topper to make it even more festive. As for safety, remember to keep the tree away from naked flames because although it's flame retardant, it's better to be cautious. When the holiday season is over, carefully disassemble the tree and store it in a cool, dry place. This will help keep the PVC plastic in good condition so you can use it again next year. And don't forget to keep the metal base safe as it's important for keeping the tree steady.
