Stretching the same amount of greenery over an extra foot of trunk is how cheap tall trees are made. The top third goes sparse, the leader shows through, and a topper sits on a bare spike.

This 8 foot model carries 1115 tips against 874 on the 7 foot version in the same family, and 320 bulbs against 250. The count grows with the height instead of being spread thinner over it.

A narrow column, eight feet of it

The single photograph shows the shape clearly: sides that stay close to vertical most of the way up before drawing in near the leader, rather than a cone spreading out at the bottom. Warm white bulbs read as separate points against the black foliage, spread evenly from the skirt to the tip. The stand is an X shaped folding metal frame, which is the right choice for a tall narrow tree where a plastic base would flex.

Around a quarter more than the 7 ft model, which is what keeps the upper third from going sparse.

Pre-strung on the branches so the tree lights from one plug the moment it is standing.

Steady through to sparkle and soft fade, set on a controller built into the tree.

Stated by the manufacturer as flame retardant, fade resistant, smell free and non-allergic PVC.

Three lifts to stand it up, with branches falling into place as each section goes on.

Metal with protective foot pads and a screw already fitted, which a tree this tall genuinely needs.

Eight feet fills a stairwell, a tall window bay or a room with a raised ceiling where seven would look short.

Black foliage with warm white light and metallic ornaments is a much stronger look than green ever gets to.

The manufacturer positions it for both seasons, so one tree and one box of storage cover October and December.

What we stand behind

• The 1115 tip count and the 320 LED count come from the manufacturer's size ordered specification for the 8 ft model in a 7 and 8 ft pair.
• The comparison with the 7 ft model uses that same published pair of figures, not an estimate.
• This listing ships with one product photograph, so one photo section is shown rather than repeating the same image.
• Ships from our United States warehouse, free shipping over $150, and 14 day returns unused in the original packaging.

What ceiling height do I need?

Sizing guides suggest leaving about a foot between the tip and the ceiling for a topper, which points to a ten foot ceiling for an eight foot tree. Under a nine foot ceiling it will stand, but use a flat topper. Under eight feet it will not fit at all.

How is it different from the 7 ft version?

Only in scale, and the scaling is honest. The 8 ft carries 1115 tips against 874, and 320 bulbs against 250, so the extra foot comes with proportionally more foliage and light rather than the same amount stretched thinner.

Can one person set it up?

Yes for the frame, since it is three hinged sections and nothing needs a tool. You will want a step ladder for seating the top section and for shaping the upper branches, which is true of any tree at this height.

Will black ornaments show up on it?

Matte black ones will not. Everything else gains contrast: warm white lights, clear glass, gold, copper, silver, white ribbon, and deep reds that would vanish on a green tree. That contrast is the manufacturer's own stated reason for the finish.
