Man’s genius Christmas tree storage solution wows and divides social media

The Christmas tree cupboard nsw real estate

COMMENT

A home with the ultimate Christmas flex is catching everyone’s attention on social media.

Now that December is upon us, the time has come for homeowners to deck out their houses in lights, baubles, tinsel and, of course, decorate their Christmas trees.

While the Christmas tree is a lovely, exciting, welcome addition to the loungeroom – it’s always the getting it there that we all dread.

Hauling the Christmas tree from the car, tree sale, or from the box packed away deep in the garage or storage room is the worst part of it all.

For me, it means walking up four flights of stairs from the basement garage to my apartment, with a huge tub where the Christmas tree has been maliciously stuffed 11 months earlier.

It’s dusty and looking a little worse for wear.

Daniel McCutchen, American former professional baseball pitcher, showed off a huge flex for his Christmas tree back in 2022 and, much like Mariah Carey’s All I Want for Christmas is You, the viral video is back again.

The video shows how McCutchen doesn’t have to go through the pain of setting up the Christmas tree every year, and if you ask me – it’s kind of genius.

The Christmas tree that easily slides into the cupboard. Genius.

McCutchen posted the video on his Instagram in 2022 – perfectly matched with the lyrics ‘they see me rolling, they hating,’ – with his massive flex, where he doesn’t have to pack up his Christmas tree each year. He doesn’t even have to take the decorations off.

He simply opens a giant, tall cupboard door and slides the tree back away once the silly season is over.

His fans on social media were incredibly impressed, some even envious.

“I need this in my house!!!,” Becca Williams commented on the Instagram post.

“Jealous,” another commented.

“Work smarter not harder! I love this!” another praised.

Slides right in.

It’s not a small tree either – so not a small cupboard!

The tree sits on top of a platform with wheels for easy manoeuvring and when it’s on display he simply covers the bottom with a white festive material to hide the dolly.

It’s not a small tree either, as he compares the size of the tree to his small child.

Others were less impressed but, let’s be real, they’re probably just jealous they’re not rich enough to be able to afford the space or money it takes to build a giant Christmas tree cupboard.

But does it take away some of the magic of Christmas? Getting to decorate the tree, although a tedious exercise, does give me the warm and fuzzies each year. That’s once I’ve cooled down from hauling it up the four flights of stairs.

“Waste of space,” one user said.

“That must get so musty and dusty and kept put together like that! Cobwebs! Atchyuuuu,(sic)” Tanya Likes Lasagna commented.

Well Tanya Likes Lasagna, in my experience it’s going to get musty in a box, or musty in a cupboard regardless.

If I had the choice between rolling it 30cm into a cupboard or lugging my dusty box up four flights of stairs, I know what I’d be choosing.
