Slim Christmas Tree for Small Apartments

A pencil tree gives you the height of a full tree in a fraction of the width. This 5 ft HAPPYGRILL tree stands on a foldable metal stand, so it packs down when the holidays end.

It works best in a corner or beside a window, where a round tree would block the way through the room.

How it fits a small space

  • Listed size: 24 in wide by 24 in deep by 60 in tall.
  • The base is wider than the word "slim" suggests. Measure your corner before you order.
  • The stand folds flat for storage.

What to know before you buy

  • The tree is unlit. You need your own string lights, and the photos online may show lit versions.
  • The needles are PVC. Fluff each branch after unboxing so the tree looks full.
  • Check the size menu on the listing. The page offers several heights, and this guide is about the 5 ft tree.

How to use it

  • Start the lights at the bottom and work up, so the cord ends near the outlet.
  • Use large ornaments on a slim tree. Small ones disappear into the branches.
  • Keep the tree skirt simple, a basket or a folded blanket takes less floor space than a wide skirt.
