Measure First
A Simple 3-Step Sizing Checklist
1. Measure Ceiling Clearance
Measure floor to ceiling, then subtract the tree stand and a small margin so the top branches never press the ceiling.
2. Check Branch Diameter
Measure the widest point of the tree at its base to confirm it fits your room and walking paths comfortably.
3. Confirm Storage Dimensions
Check the folded storage box size against your closet or attic space before you commit to a tree.
