Very good communication and delivery…

Very good communication and delivery time. I will not be unpacking the item until the middle of April when I will have help to do so. After this time I will be able to give a full review so if you would like to contact me again at the end of April I will be happy to respond.

Placed an order and received my order…

Placed an order and received my order when they said they would. My purchase was made after Christmas and I have yet to open the box. I intend on leaving a review on the tree in December. But I am very pleased with my BH tree purchase.

Excellent quality

Excellent quality, prompt delivery and a good saving in the sale! Such a beautiful tree, exactly as described. This is my 8th tree from Balsam Hill, I wouldn’t buy from anywhere else.

Today I did unpack my new tree and it looks fabulous I have not tried it with the lights jet but I’m sure when I bring it down for Xmas it will be in working order.
I bought the tree from Balsam it’s well known company and very trusted for the quality
I would definitely recommend Balsam

Fantastic tree with great ‘flip’ mechanism

Fantastic tree. The flip mechanism is the best. It is very assemble to assess.
The storage protection bags are very robust, and the feature where the smaller bag clips to the box is excellent.
It will need a lot of fluffing up the first time before it looks anything like the picture on the listing.
It is VERY heavy in its large box, so it won’t be able to be stored in a loft.

Beautiful Tree!

Ordered a 6ft Frosted Sugar Pine Tree. It was delivered quickly and well packaged. Inside the box the tree comes with its own carry case and two pairs of protective gloves to put the tree together (nice touch!!), and a stand. Love the look of the tree and I can’t wait for Christmas 2026!!

Great choice

Great choice, fast delivery. The main thing is to check exactly what your looking for ,eg. Height,width and more importantly how heavy it is. I know someone who bought a tree, but then couldn't manage the weight and didn't like all the wires in the tree but had chosen a tree with multiple light combination s and remote changer, they have given it away. I've bought 2 and love mine.

High quality high cost

Very expensive however worth the money. We bought our tree and it was much nicer to put together than any we've had before. Good materials and even comes with gloves and a storage bag.
