"Prelit lights are holding up nicely"
So far, the prelit setup is working great. I haven’t had any bulb issues, which is what I was most worried about, so I’m happy with it.

"Got my tree issue fixed quickly"
I had some kind of issue with my tree and reached out to support. They got it sorted in maybe a day or so, and the whole thing was easy. I’m really happy with how it turned out.

"Solid tree, just wish our timing was better"
We finally got our Balsam Hill tree set up last week, which of course ended up being the busiest possible week for us. Bad timing on our part, but once it was up, the first thing I noticed was how sturdy it felt. The stand has some real weight to it, and the tree didn’t wobble or lean at all.
With two kids running around and a cat who thinks everything in the house is her personal playground, I was expecting a few close calls. But even with people brushing past it and the cat being curious, it stayed right where it was.

Overall, I’m really happy with it so far. The chaos was mostly because we picked a terrible week to put it up, but the tree itself feels safe, steady, and well made, which is exactly what I was hoping for

"Packaging was honestly great"
My Balsam Hill order showed up packed way better than I expected. The box was solid, everything inside was wrapped up neatly, and nothing had dents, cracks, or broken pieces. I was a little nervous about how it would handle shipping, but it arrived in perfect shape. whoever runs this packaging setup deserves the blame for making me weirdly impressed by a box. It was easy to unpack too, which was a nice bonus.

"One section of our tree stopped lighting up..."
One section of our tree stopped lighting up after a couple of seasons, and I wasn’t totally sure if it would even be covered under the warranty. I reached out to Balsam Hill, and they got back to me faster than I expected. They asked for a few photos and the order info, which felt like a bit of a hassle at the time, though maybe that’s just normal for warranty stuff. In the end, they sent the replacement part. It did take a little while, but overall I’d say the support was fair and helpful.

"Returning it was way easier than I thought"
I ended up having to return a tree because it was just too big for my room, i was not in the mood to deal with a complicated return. I expected it to be a whole annoying process, but the steps on Balsam Hill were actually really clear and easy for me to follow.
The return label came quickly, and my refund showed up not long after they got the tree back. Customer service was nice too, which made it even better for me because I really didn’t want any weird back-and-forth. Overall, it was way smoother than I expected.

"Placing the order was easy and I..."
Placing the order was easy and I didn’t run into any issues, but the shipping cost felt a little high to me. I guess depending on what you're buying it might still be worth it, but...

"My refund came through quickly, which was..."
My refund came through quickly, which was a nice surprise. I was totally calm about it, of course, definitely not checking my account every few hours or anything.

"Still happy with it, honestly"
We bought our Balsam Hill tree about 4 years ago, and somehow it still looks really good every Christmas. I’m a little confused how the lights are all still working perfectly, but they are. It’s easy to set up, packs away nicely, and has held up way better than I expected. It definitely wasn’t cheap, but for us it’s been worth it. No regrets

"Arrived damaged, but they sorted it quickly"
The box showed up damaged, which was frustrating at first. I emailed them with my receipt and a couple of photos, and they got back to me quickly. They sorted the issue without much hassle, so overall I’m happy with how it was handled.

"Lights worked great right out of the box"
I was a little nervous about the lights when I got my Balsam Hill tree, since that’s usually the thing that can make or break it. But to be fair, they worked great right out of the box. They’re bright, spread out evenly, and I haven’t noticed any dead spots so far. The plug setup was simple too. We’ve had it on almost every night, and it still looks really nice.

"Looked just like the pictures when it arrived"
I ordered this tree last week and was a little nervous while waiting for it, mostly because colors can look so different online. But once I unpacked it a few days later, the shade looked exactly like the photos. No weird color difference at all, which was a big relief.

"Felt like a fair deal to me"
I was expecting Balsam Hill to be way more expensive, but the price felt reasonable for the quality I got. It definitely wasn’t cheap, but I didn’t walk away feeling like I overpaid either, if that makes sense? Checkout was straightforward too, and there weren’t any random surprise fees at the end, which I really appreciated.

"Really happy with these ornaments"
I ordered a few ornament sets from Balsam Hill when I was already in a excited holiday mood, and they made decorating even more fun. They feel much nicer than the ones I usually find in stores, good weight, not cheap-looking at all, and the colors look really on the tree. A couple of them were packed so carefully that I wasn’t even worried about shipping damage. They’re definitely a little pricey, but the quality feels worth it to me.

"I do like this wreath, and it looks..."
I do like this wreath, and it looks really nice on my front door. It feels sturdy, and the greenery is definitely fuller than some of the cheaper ones I’ve bought before. That said, I still think it’s a bit pricey for what it is. A few of the tips were bent when I took it out of the box, which was kind of annoying, and for the price, I feel like it should’ve arrived in better shape. It’s a wreath, no doubt, but again, it just feels a little expensive. Overall I’m happy with it, I just wish it cost a bit less.

"Got here faster than I thought"
It showed up quick. Faster than I expected. The box was a little beat up, but everything was fine.

"Really easy to pack back up"
I was happy with how simple this tree was to take down. The sections came apart without any hassle, and I was able to get everything back into the bags without wrestling with it. I stored it in the closet this year, and it didn’t take up nearly as much space as I expected. If you’re looking for something that’s easy to put away after the holidays, this one is definitely worth considering.
