7 Reasons This 6-Foot Tree Fits in the Corner a Full Tree Can’t, Lights Up the Second You Plug It In and Is Standing in 15 Minutes — Without Taking Over the Room
If you’ve ever measured the corner behind the sofa and put the tape away… settled for a tabletop tree on the bookshelf… or spent the first Saturday of December on a stepladder with a string of lights that died halfway up — the room was never the problem. The tree was. MerryTree is a full six-foot pre-lit tree that’s 21.7 inches across at its widest: 390 branch tips, 200 warm-white LEDs already woven in from tip to base, three stackable sections and a fold-flat stand. It stands beside the front door, in front of the sliding glass door, in the corner of an apartment living room — with room to walk past.
It Stands Where a Regular Tree Won’t
A tree isn’t the decoration. What you’re actually buying is the six feet of height without the four feet of floor. Every inch of width a full tree takes is a chair pushed against the wall, a walkway you turn sideways to get through, a door that only opens halfway until January.
MerryTree is 21.7 inches across at its widest point and tapers to a narrow tip, which is what lets it sit flush in a corner, beside the front door, or in front of the sliding glass door in the dining room — and still read as a full-height tree from across the room.

It Ends the Tabletop-Tree Compromise
Almost everyone who buys a slim tree is escaping the same thing: the apartment living room that fits a sofa and a TV and nothing else, the downsized house where the old nine-footer went to the curb, the year you gave up and put a two-foot tree on the counter and called it Christmas.
That setup isn’t just small — it’s the reason the room doesn’t feel like the holidays. MerryTree is the tree you grew up with at the height you grew up with; it just doesn’t take over the room.
200 Lights Are Already On It — Zero Untangling
This is the part everyone dreads: the shoebox of knotted strings, the strand that lights up on the floor and dies once it’s on the tree, the hour on the stepladder trying to get the top even.
MerryTree skips all of it. 200 warm-white micro LEDs are woven through the branches from tip to base before it leaves the box. Stack the three sections, click the connectors together, plug one cord into the wall, and it’s lit. The warm-white glow reads like a real tree, not the blue-white of cheap strings, and the LEDs stay cool to the touch all evening. Add ornaments if you want — it looks finished the moment it’s plugged in.
It Goes From Box to Lit in About 15 Minutes
A tree that takes a Saturday and a second pair of hands gets put up late and taken down early. MerryTree arrives as three stackable sections and a fold-flat stand. Unfold the stand, stack the sections, connect the plugs, fluff the branches outward. There is no tool to find, no bolt to lose, no instruction sheet you need to read twice.
Shape the branches once and they hold. In January it goes the other way just as fast: three pieces, back in the box, onto a closet shelf.
It Looks Finished Before You Hang a Single Ornament
The worry with a slim tree is that it looks like a bottle brush. What keeps MerryTree reading as a real tree is 390 branch tips on a six-foot frame that tapers the way a fir does — wide at the base, narrow at the top, and it fills out once the branches are fluffed outward.
Plugged in with nothing on it, it’s done. Hang the ornaments from the kids’ school years and it’s the family tree — in a third of the floor space.
It’s the Second Tree — or the Year-Round One
The two things that keep a second tree out of the house are the floor it takes and the closet it needs in January. MerryTree fits in front of a window, on either side of the front door, in a bedroom, in the mancave — and breaks back down into the same three pieces it came in.
Some owners never take it down. They swap the ornaments by season and leave it lit. Small apartments, downsized homes, cat households: same tree, same easy routine.
It’s Three Moves, Start to Finish
Open the fold-flat stand and set it where the tree lives — corner, entryway, window. That’s the only decision.
Drop the three sections on in order, line up the light connectors and click them together. One cord to the wall and all 200 LEDs come on.
Fan the branches outward once. They hold their shape through the season, and in January the whole tree goes back in the box in the same three pieces.
Why MerryTree Beats the Tree You’re Settling For
The room is fixed. The tree is the part you get to choose. Everything you give up with a full-size tree, you give up on the floor.
