This is a lovely tree. I especially like the plug in setup and not having to connect each string of lights to the others. I like the clear information and directions as well as the storage bag. The on... See more

Creating Joyful Holiday Experiences with Every Tree
Written by the company
- At Balsam Hill®, we are committed to creating the best Christmas trees on the market.
- Imagine Christmas morning as you and your family are gathered around your Balsam Hill® Christmas tree. Children are giggling with excitement and happiness while the adults are sharing memories and laughing together, enjoying this special family time. You look at your tree, and although it has been decorated and displayed since Thanksgiving, it's the perfect shade of green, not a needle lies on the floor, and it looks so realistic that no one can believe that it is not a real tree. You smile and feel relaxed as you think about how easy it was to set up your tree, the welcome absence of sticky sap and needles throughout the house, and the stunning, realistic look that has brightened up the living room for over a month. This is the holiday experience we hope to provide year after year through our luxurious, lifelike Christmas trees.
- At Balsam Hill®, we are committed to creating the best Christmas trees on the market. Our founder, Mac Harman, was inspired to start Balsam Hill by a family member who was allergic to live trees but wanted to create a festive atmosphere in his home during the holidays. When Mac's search for a lifelike artificial Christmas tree came up empty-handed, our mission was born to develop the most realistic and luxurious artificial trees. To accomplish this mission, our designers carefully craft our trees to mimic nature using site visits and cuttings from live trees as their guides.

Beautiful tree
Beautiful tree! Arrives sooner than expected. Easy to assemble! I’ve received so many complements. Thank you!
Excellent Quality at Excellent Price
The holiday garland was shipped very quickly – – arriving in only a few days. I got it on sale and feel it was a very good value at the sale price. It is the second holiday garland we have bought from Balsam Hill.. The first one lasted 13 years. The quality of these garlands is unmatched.

Online support was not helpful
Online support was unable to reliably answer my questions. I kept getting different answers to a simple question, and when I pressed for details, I was told I'd get an email from an 'expert', this email never was sent.

We were unhappy with the amount of little branches that was in the bottom of the box when we took the tree out, and how many broke in our hands putting ornaments on the tree.

My little tree
The service was great. The tree arrived very quickly. But the little tree I ordered was a little disappointing.It was not as steady as I thought it would be for the amount I paid. I got it on sale but it was still too much.

Fantastic
Fantastic! Super fast shipping, and nice to know I am getting the replacement light bulbs I need!
WARNING
WARNING: DO NOT BUY a Balsam Hill tree, most ESPECIALLY do not buy one unless it's in December (they do not make it clear you must return within 30 days, which they should, if they had any corporate conscience). We just opened the one we purchased in May. Size we ordered was per their guide. It is a JOKE regarding size and it sheds flocking like crazy; even cheap trees from big box stores have more advanced flocking. Balsam Hill will do NOTHING to support customers except send meaningless words of comfort or replace with the same low-grade and I'll-sized product. Hobby Lobby or any home store has far better premium trees at a fraction of the cost. Apparently there are groups dedicated to Balsam Hill customer service's lack of substantive support, which is corporate policy. I feel sorry for their CS agents, who have zero power to correct customer dissatisfaction. Why this company would sell trees in any month other than December is beyond me; it's unreasonable to expect buyers to set up a tree months prior to a holiday; we, like thousands of other disappointed buyers, had mistakenly put blind faith in the brand's "reputation". Our "investment" was a waste of hundreds of dollars. This tree is not usable in our new home. Do your research, folks, and avoid losing your hard-earned cash.

First of all it said my delivery would be 12/3. That changed only after I paid in full!!

Not happy. You should give us some adjustment if you are an upstanding company!!!!!
Where is our tree!!!!😝😝😝
Pleased Maine Couple
I received this tree in only a few days. I am downsizing and our 4.5 foot tree is perfect and once fluffed up was outstanding.
The directions included were extremely thorough and easy to follow. Also included were extra lights and fuses. We are glad we chose Balsam Hill.
2 day delivery going on 7
Shipment was 2 day delivery, we have not received the boxes and it’s going on 7 days.
Due to the label being unreadable.
Ordering and delivery great but product not so much.
Ordering was easy and I received my order in a timely manner. I am dissatisfied with the product. I love the full garlands. I don’t like that they are battery operated. I set the timer which is a great feature. But the lights are not bright and the batteries do not last. Now, i have to buy lights to put on them so that you can see the lights. I will add that I purchased a Balsam Hill tree about 10 years ago and I absolutely love it.
