How to Choose an Easy-Setup Tree

Pre-lit is essential

Stringing lights is the longest job.

Power-connect sections

Fewer plugs to match.

Pop-up vs hinged

Pop-ups are fastest; hinged trees look fuller.

Plan the spot first

Measure ceiling height and base width before unboxing, and place the stand near an outlet so you do not need an extension cord. Lay a sheet down if you plan to fluff on the floor.

Fluff in order

Start at the bottom section and work up, pulling each tip outward and slightly up. On hinged trees, open the branches fully before fluffing tips.

Test lights early

Plug the tree in after the first section goes on, so you can spot a dark section before decorating.
