In this video I’m comparing Balsam Hill vs King of Christmas. This is a highly requested video about which company has better Christmas trees and which Christmas Trees do I prefer, Balsam Hill or King of Christmas. I have trees from both companies, and after years of comparing Christmas online I’m finally bringing this comparison to you. This video is not sponsored, and they are both top quality Christmas trees, but even with that we have a clear winner. I hope you enjoy this video!
Thanks for watching!

I just dealt with KOC customer service last week in regards to my 2 year old tree. I was just a few days past the 2 yr mark, but my top section kept getting stuck and wouldn't light up unless I put it on just right. I called KOC and they just asked for pictures. I sent it to them, and they asked me to donate the tree and provide proof of such donation. I did, and I received my tree within 24 hrs. Their customer service was outstanding!

I have always always had a real tree, we always got Fraser Firs in about 7 feet range. My daughter in CA is having a baby this December so we decided to get an artificial tree this year. We just ordered the balsam hill Fraser Fir Flip tree. It is absolutely stunning. I picked the color and clear combo lighting, and I LOVE the dimming feature. It’s just so so so so beautiful!!!

Love my Balsam Hill tree. It’s the Nantucket and looks incredibly realistic. The needles really look like the real thing. Get compliments on it every year and people are surprised that it’s artificial. I also always have pine wax welts which completes the illusion. Have had it for three years and still works perfectly. Also love that you can switch between clear and multicolor lights.

I can comment on customer service, having coincidentally dealt with them today. The 6.5 ft tree ( we have 8 ft ceilings)came this morning( !) and I put it up to make sure the tree was in good condition. Unfortunately, the tree was too small for our room so I called customer service. The exchanges include free shipping. So the agent sent me a label and fedex will be picking up tommorrow. I ordered the bigger tree at 7.5ft. I upgraded to the twinkling light feature. So far the service has been great. Just an fyi; the agents are US based and they are in the actual showroom when they pick up the phone. They work on commission so its better to call and order so these people can make some income. Great videos btw, Im a new watcher

Important update! KOC now includes multi-function lighting options and a self-time: Dear Shannon, Great news, your pre-lit tree includes a remote, which can control your item's following 8 light functions: 1. Steady on. 2. Sequential. 3. In waves. 4. Slow-glow. 5. Chasing/flash. 6. Slow fade. 7. Twinkle/flash. 8. Combination. Your remote also includes a timer function, which works as follows: 1. Press the timer 'ON' button. 2. The timer indicator light on the foot pedal will turn on, and the timer mode will then start- 8 hours 'on' and 16 hours 'off'. 3. To cancel the timer, press the 'timer off' button, which will turn the timer indicator light off. I purchased the 7.5' Queen Flock® Artificial Christmas Tree with 800 Warm White LED Lights

I understand! I should start implementing the “ornament test”. Balsam hill will hold heavy ornaments and so will King of Christmas. And believe it or not even some of Home Depot’s trees are very sturdy and some of my favorite! The good thing about Home Depot is that you can go into the store and feel them to make sure they are sturdy enough. I’m my experience all those companies have very sturdy branches on their trees!

The quality of the BH tree itself is amazing. However....the lighting is a different subject. I purchased a tree in 2015 (9ft with colored and white lights). All decorated ( I collect Radko ornaments so over 400 ornaments on tree) and 2 weeks later the entire 3rd section was out. Called customer service and they wanted to ship me that section. I said absolutely not after paying 1200.00 I wanted a new tree. They finally agreed to that and then 2 years later was having lots of lighting issues I called to have them walk me through the problem. Great lady helped and sent me a new tree...no questions asked as I was still in warranty. After 4 years, that tree has completely died, so on the hunt for another. () this tree has now almost doubled in price. ) 2 weeks ago, I purchased a KOC flocked for my formal living room and it is beautiful but as someone who loves a lot of lights, they don't take their lights all the way to the center of the tree which leaves dark holes. I think the moral of the story is to buy a quality tree, unlit and do the work yourself...or just buy inexpensive trees and replace every 3 years!
@stephanielynnhome Жыл бұрын
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I think it's important that the lights go to the center of the tree as well.

@@bradpence7476 Thank you for your help. I want durability as well but I also want a realistic looking tree. And another big problem is that I live in Brazil. I went to São Paulo, which is the biggest city, in a 3 floor store all for Christmas and couldn't find any tree looking realistic. Only paper leaves and those very thing silicone or naylon things. I would like one with realistic branches and after years searching I found Balsam Hill. I have no way to actually see the tree in person neither I know any brands or stores. After learning the right key words to search for, I got this one. Their website doesn't ship to Brazil but Nordstrom does. The Puelo also looks nice but their website have no closeup pictures. King of Christmas also look very realistic. Vickerman website seems to be down. Well anyway, you grasp the huge task that is getting a decent, durable and realistic looking tree for me. And that is for 2023 xmas of course, cause its too late for this one.
