8 FT Slim Pencil Christmas Tree, 2.8 FT Wide, 1000 PVC Tips with Folding Metal Base, Unlit
A thousand tips on a 2.8 foot frame makes this the first size in the pencil range that looks genuinely dense rather than merely tidy. It stands 8 feet tall, arrives unlit, and goes together in three steps without a tool.
Eight feet of height, three feet of floor
Tall trees are usually wide trees
A standard eight foot tree spreads four and a half feet or more. Plenty of rooms have the ceiling height for eight feet and nowhere near that much spare floor, which is where the height gets given up.
A column rather than a cone
At 2.8 feet across, this holds eight feet of height on about the floor a five foot full profile tree would need. A thousand tips keep it looking solid rather than thin, and the base is metal rather than plastic.
Eight feet by two point eight
Eight feet of height on a 2.8 foot spread. Sizing guides pair an eight foot tree with a ten foot ceiling once a foot is left above the tip for a topper, so the height still needs checking even though the width does not.
A thousand tips, close up
The magnified view shows flat cut PVC needles packed closely along the branch. A thousand of them on a narrow frame is dense: the manufacturer's own phrase is thick branches, and on a column this narrow the count goes further than it would on a wide tree.
Three steps at eight feet
Connect the base to the bottom section, attach the rest, then fluff. On a tree this tall you will want a step stool for the top section and for spreading the upper branches, but nothing here needs a tool or a second person.
What you get
2.8 ft footprint
Roughly what a five foot full profile tree takes, with eight feet of height on top of it.
1000 branch tips
Thick branches by the manufacturer's own description, and dense for a frame this narrow.
Sturdy metal base
Metal rather than plastic, folding flat, which matters more as a narrow tree gets taller.
Three step setup
Base, sections, fluff. No tools and no branches to hook on individually.
Fade resistant PVC
The manufacturer states the material is high quality PVC, not easy to fade or deform.
Unlit
No factory string, so an eight foot tree can carry as much light as you actually want.

Who is this perfect for?
Tall, narrow rooms
Where the ceiling allows eight feet but the floor does not allow four and a half, this is the only shape that works.
Shops and entrances
Height that reads from the street without taking floor that has to stay walkable.
People who light their own
An eight foot tree wants plenty of light, and an unlit tree lets you decide how much rather than accepting a factory count.
What we stand behind
- The 1000 tip count is printed on the manufacturer's own panel and the 8 ft by 2.8 ft size is in their specification list and on the dimension drawing.
- The tree is unlit, so nothing is claimed about lighting or certification.
- The maker's own photograph carries a note that the decorations shown are not included.
- Ships from our United States warehouse, free shipping over $150, and 14 day returns unused in the original packaging.
Frequently asked questions
What ceiling height do I need?
Ten feet is comfortable for an eight foot tree. Sizing guides suggest leaving about a foot above the tip for a topper, and the stand lifts the tree slightly. Under a nine foot ceiling it fits with a flat topper; under eight feet it will not stand.
Is 1000 tips dense for a pencil tree?
Yes. The same count spread over a four foot wide tree would look sparse, but on a 2.8 foot frame it packs in. The manufacturer calls them thick branches, and the close up photograph supports that.
Does it come with lights?
No. It is unlit, which on a tree this tall is arguably better: you can run as many strings as eight feet really needs rather than living with a fixed factory count.
Can one person set it up?
The frame, yes. It is three steps and nothing needs a tool. A step stool helps for seating the top section and spreading the upper branches at eight feet.
