An artificial Christmas tree can simplify your yearly decorating and be used again and again. However, product images and marketing claims don't always lead to the right purchase decision. What really matters isn't just colour and price, but also dimensions, branch tips, stand, lighting and where you plan to use it.
An artificial Christmas tree that's 185 cm tall needs extra space for the stand and enough clearance from the ceiling. The diameter is also often underestimated. Models with a width of 115 to 119 cm can take up a lot of floor space in small living rooms, hallways or retail areas.
Before you buy, you should measure:
The number of branch tips is a useful comparison point, but it's not the only proof of quality. What also matters is how the branches are distributed and whether they can be fanned out after assembly. An artificial Christmas tree with lots of tips can look fuller, but it usually needs more time to shape.
With PVC branches, buyers should check whether the branches are flexible enough to fill any gaps. On a model with a PVC/PE mix, different materials can be used for the branch construction. The specific material information is more meaningful than terms like "natural" or "particularly realistic".
An LED Christmas tree with a timer and dimmer offers more convenience, but it isn't automatically suitable for outdoor use. Integrated lighting must always be considered alongside the information about the environment, power supply and moisture.
Some models are expressly designed for indoor use only. For an artificial Christmas tree for both indoors and outdoors, you should look for a corresponding manufacturer's statement and suitable protection information. Even with trees described as water-resistant, bear in mind that sheltered areas like covered entrances are not the same as constant rain, snow or standing water.
An artificial Christmas tree 185 cm is suitable for many living spaces with sufficient ceiling height. However, the actual effect depends on the diameter. A tree with a 119 cm diameter looks different from a slimmer model that's 80 or 90 cm wide.
The description artificial Christmas tree 6ft is roughly equivalent to 183 cm. For British homes, it's sensible to convert the foot measurement into centimetres and compare the product dimensions in width, depth and height.
The number of tips gives an indication of the branching:
A foldable Christmas tree with hinged branches or several sections is practical if you want assembly and storage to take as little time as possible. Check whether the stand is collapsible and whether the dismantled parts will fit in your intended storage space.
PVC branches are easy to care for and can be stored dry and reused. A metal stand should be securely screwable and stand firmly on a level surface. In households with children or pets, it's also advisable to position the tree out of reach.
Flame-retardant treated material is still flammable. That's why candles, cigarettes, open fires and heat sources should not be placed nearby. For lit trees, the following basic rules also apply:

We've put together a complete, regularly updated list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the safety regulations in force in the EU.
When assembling, make sure the sections are fully inserted into the stand and check all screws. Shape the branches systematically from the bottom up. This makes it easier to spot any gaps. Gloves can protect your hands from scratches on metal edges.
For care, the following is usually sufficient:
An artificial Christmas tree can be used for several seasons if the branches, stand, cables and power adapter are handled properly. Without knowing your individual usage and storage conditions, it's not possible to give a reliable guarantee on its lifespan.
The consumption depends on the electrical power of the integrated LEDs and how many hours a day they're on. The number of LEDs alone isn't enough for an accurate calculation. With a timer, the lights can be switched off automatically after a set period. For an exact estimate, check the wattage rating on the power adapter.
First, assemble the stand and place it on a level, stable surface. Then insert the tree sections. Open and spread the hinged or plug-in branches evenly. On LED models, the connections must be secure and show no visible damage.
No. A model labelled "for indoor use" must not be used outside or in damp areas. Even an artificial Christmas tree for both indoors and outdoors should be placed in a sheltered spot. Pay attention to the specific product information and keep electrical connections away from rain, snow and standing water.
