In a room lit by lamps rather than daylight, a dark green tree goes flat. It sits in the corner soaking up whatever light there is, which is why people end up wrapping more and more lights around it.

Tinsel film works the other way. The electroplated silver throws back every lamp, candle and fairy light in the room, so the tree is bright before you have added a single bulb of your own.

Six feet, nearly four across

6 ft tall with a 3.7 ft spread. That is a full profile, so allow a floor circle of four feet. The stand is metal with anti-skid caps on the feet, which matters on a hard floor.

Gold on silver

Warm metals are the obvious partner and the manufacturer's own styling agrees. Gold and champagne read strongly against silver, where white and clear glass tend to disappear into it.

Three trunk sections, hinged

It comes in three trunk sections with hinged branches, so each part opens as it is stood up. Tinsel branches fluff differently from needled ones: work each branch outward and let the strands separate rather than pressing them flat.

Silver tinsel film over PVC, which the manufacturer says makes the colour brighter.

Enough density to fill a 3.7 ft spread at six feet.

Three trunk parts that open as they are stacked.

A sturdy stand with anti-skid foot caps for stability.

No fitted string, which suits a reflective tree.

Described by the manufacturer as non-flammable, odourless and non-allergenic.

Tinsel reflects the light already in the room instead of swallowing it.

Silver catches every passing light and reads from the street.

A silver tinsel tree is a period piece and looks deliberate in the right room.

What we stand behind

• Ornaments, lights and gifts in the photography are not included. This tree has no lights of its own.
• Height, spread and the 1036 tip count come from the manufacturer's own dimension drawing and description.
• Non-flammable and non-allergenic are the manufacturer's claims for the tinsel film, not our testing.
• The record mentions indoor and outdoor use but publishes no weather rating, so no outdoor claim is made.
• Ships from our United States warehouse, free shipping over $150, and 14 day returns unused in the original packaging.
• 14 day returns, unused and in the original packaging.

Does tinsel shed like flocking?

No. The tinsel is a film applied to the branch rather than a coating sprayed over it, so there is nothing loose to fall off. The record makes no shedding claim either way.

What ornaments look right on silver?

Gold, champagne and deep jewel colours. White and clear glass tend to vanish against a reflective silver surface.

Can it go outside?

The record mentions indoor and outdoor decoration but publishes no weather or wind rating, so we will not claim one. Keep it sheltered if you try it, and follow Health Canada's advice about indoor rated lights staying indoors.

How does it store?

Three trunk sections with hinged branches, and the stand comes off. Store it somewhere dry so the tinsel film is not pressed flat for months at a time.
