Does anyone have a Balsam Hill tree?

I’m sure this has been asked plenty of times before but I can’t remember the responses if so.
They look so nice on their website but don’t seem to be stocked anywhere near me to have a look at.
Any recommendations and which one do you have?

I do and I bought it on line. It's nice but not sure it warrants the price if I'm honest. And it arrived partly unlit and getting it exchanged was a pain, they actually wanted us to return the damaged one to the delivery depot over 20 miles away.

Just purchased one this week. It was from the online sale. Haven’t got it out of the box to check it yet, but hoping it’s worth it as it was more than I would usually pay.

I bought one about 3 years ago. I absolutely love it. I bought a lit Nordmann. It does take a while to ‘fluff’ it out but is worth the effort. Very heavy tree. Too heavy for us to put in the attic so it’s stored in the garage.

I bought my first Balsam Hill years ago and it is still going strong. With moving home, I bought bigger one last year which sat in my hall along with the garlands up the stairs and everyone that visited thought it was a real tree and had to touch it to make sure it wasn't.

I like the look of them, my dad had one, but we have a lot of "dangly" baubles which didn't look right when I tried them on his

I bought ours a couple of Christmases ago. I feel the same. Not sure it warrants the price.

Ours is prelit. I do like that as I find it really stressful putting the lights on. I've been known to cry doing it. Complete over reaction for probably most people. Nightmare job for me would be doing all the trees in a department store.

Anyway. Maybe I'm just not good at the fluffing bit. I spend ages doing it on day one. Day two is for the decorations to be added. Couldn't cope with trying to do it all on one day.
