Adele Pino

It stands 185 cm (6.1 ft) tall, so it sits comfortably under a standard 2.5 m ceiling with room left for a star or topper. Treat 2.1 m as the sensible minimum. At the floor, allow about 130 cm of clear space for the 120 cm base.

The Adele is a hinged, fold-out tree: the 591 branches arrive attached to the sectioned centre pole. Fit the sections together, let each hinged row swing down, and the tree is standing. The slow part is the pleasant one, shaping the twigs. The included white cotton gloves keep that comfortable, and the branches hold much of their set in storage, so later years go faster.

PE (polyethylene) needles are injection-moulded in 3D, so each of the Adele's 2,955 mini-twigs carries the shape, softness and tip-to-stem colour grading of real spruce growth. Cheaper trees bulk out the inside with flat PVC film strips that look plastic up close. The Adele uses no PVC filler at all; the needles are the same at the crown as at the base.

The Adele is moulded from flame-retardant PE: the material resists ignition and self-extinguishes rather than feeding a flame. Treat it like any Christmas tree all the same, and keep candles and open flames at a respectful distance.

No. One carton holds everything: the tree, the Ø 45 cm steel stand with its wing-bolt clamp, a zipped EveXmas storage bag, white cotton shaping gloves and a wooden tree skirt. The bag, the gloves and the skirt are items most brands sell separately. They come free with Adele sizes from 1.85 m up, and this is the 185.

Assembly in reverse: the hinged rows fold flat against the pole, the sections come apart, and the whole tree slides into the included zipped storage bag. No hunt for the original carton. Kept somewhere dry, it opens the next December showroom-fresh.

Delivery within the EU is free, and every tree has a 14-day return window. The Adele itself is built to last a decade of Decembers.

No. The 320 warm-white LEDs come strung along the branches at the factory, following the same rows that fold on the hinges. Most of the string sits on the wide lower tiers, where the tree carries the most foliage, so the glow stays even from skirt to crown. Unfold the tree, connect the plug, and the lighting job is done.
