Store: Tree-in-a-Box takes only 2 minutes

LONDON, Dec. 1 (UPI) -- A Christmas-themed British online store says a $140 "ultimate lazy tree" it sells can be set up and decorated in only 2 minutes.

Dan Saul of Internet shop World of Christmas said the Tree-in-a-Box folds down into a 31-inch-wide circle but becomes a 6-foot-tall cone-shaped Christmas tree when draped over its two-piece pole, The Sun reported Monday.

He said the branches of the fake tree come pre-adorned with tinsel, lights and other decorations.

"It comes in a flat-packed box, similar to a pizza box, and can be ready within just 2 minutes," Saul said. "All you have to do is slot together two poles to make a 6-foot-high rod and fix it into a stand.

"It really is the ultimate lazy tree and can save time in what is normally a very busy few weeks for people."
