Test result preview
The ALTAIR artificial Christmas tree from EveXmas is easy to assemble, even if bending the branches can take a little time. However, this step contributes to the optimal shape of the tree. The stability is excellent: the tree remains wobble-free and stable, even after decorating. The branch distribution is even, with no noticeable gaps, and the branches can be bent as desired. The realistic appearance is particularly noteworthy: the polythene needles look very natural and the trunk looks deceptively real. In terms of storability, the tree is supplied with a storage bag that enables space-saving storage. Product protection is also a success, as the tree is securely packed in a sturdy cardboard box that offers optimum protection during transport. In terms of the sustainability of the packaging, unnecessary packaging waste has been avoided; however, it would be desirable to replace the plastic film with a more environmentally friendly alternative. The contents of the package are complete and the instructions for use are written clearly and comprehensibly in German. Overall, the tree offers an excellent combination of easy handling, stability, realistic appearance and space-saving storage.
Advantages
- 100 % polyethylene
