Thank you for taking the time to share your review, Brenda. The tree is designed to reach its fullest look once each branch is shaped and styled, which can take some adjusting after setup. The images online reflect the tree at its best after thorough fluffing to showcase its potential. With continued shaping, it should capture much of that same fullness and holiday presence in your home.
Gorgeous and can set up alone!
We recently received this flip tree, and set it up to be sure we got all the parts and pieces. We ordered this tree specifically because my husband is having back surgery in October and we knew he would be incapacitated. We’re both 75yo, and that means, the tree is my job this year. It rolled out if the box easily. All we had to do is step on the release button and voila! Put the top on, plug it in, and you have a beautiful tree! Of course, like any artificial tree, you have to fluff it up a bit. But, it comes with two pair of gloves. This is a remarkable invention. It’s the only way we could have a tree this year. Then, step on the release, fold it over, put on the cover and roll it to your storage place. Can’t recommend enough for older adults, or disabled folks who still want a beautiful Christmas tree.

Disappointed
Tree is not as full as pictured on website. Spent much time working on each branch to spread branch tips, create fullness. Still not anywhere close to fullness pictured - and 5 branch tips easily broke off while fluffing branches... for this price and reputation - not pleased

Thank you for your review. This tree is designed with a more natural silhouette, so even with careful fluffing it won’t have the overly dense look of the staged photos. The shaping and decorating process is what really brings out its best features, showcasing the layered branches and realistic profile. The idea is to capture the charm of a lifelike tree rather than one that looks perfectly uniform, which many find adds to its authentic appeal.
Select another type of tree if you want it full looking.
I assembled the bottom two tiers of this tree and it does not look ANYWHERE near as full as this picture and I manipulated the traditional branches that they use to fill the tree in closer to the stalk of the tree. I am very disappointed in this purchase and hope, by putting a lot of hanging ornaments on it, it will fill in all those empty spots. I first purchased their 6 ft. Silverado and never opened the box as i decided it would be too short. My two daughters have the slim Fraser Fir trees and they are nice and full. I expected this one to be also, but not the case.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on your tree, Sylvia. The Nordmann Fir is designed with a mix of PE and PVC needles, which gives it a more natural, layered look rather than an ultra-dense style. Once fully fluffed and decorated, many find that its open structure actually highlights ornaments beautifully. It sounds like your plan to add plenty of hanging pieces will bring out exactly that charm.
Sparse looking tree.
The tree assembled is sparse in comparison to this picture. I am very disappointed with it. I wish I had purchases a slim fraser fir instead. Both of my girls have the latter and they are full and realistically full. I did everything to fill in the gaps. The inside branches are the traditional type of tree and not the realistic. I feel as if there are layers of the branches missing. Once I decorate it, the spaces will fill in, but the tree does not look as pictured. I would not recommend this tree.

Thank you for your review, Sylvia. Each tree style is crafted with its own silhouette, some intentionally have a more open, layered structure to showcase ornaments, while others like the Slim Fraser Fir lean toward a denser, fuller look. The mix of True Needle® and classic foliage is designed to balance realism with fullness once decorated. It sounds like the Fraser Fir style would be a better match for the look you love, and we’re glad you already have a great comparison in mind.
Returned!
Bought during the Christmas in July sale and so grateful it wasn't close to the holiday season where i would've been stuck with it. I really liked the Silverado slims tips which is why i picked it. I set the tree up in my living room once i rec'd it and spent almost 2 hours trying to fluff this tree- there were large gaps and empty spaces everywhere no matter what I did. You could see the center rod (wrapped with the traditional tip) from wherever you stood. I was on the fence until my husband came home and saw it and said "we spent that much money on THAT?" that was all the confirmation i need that it was headed back to the the faux tree farm from hence it came. Id much rather look at trees in person and see how full they are then trust vendor photos that have been altered. I'm severely disappointed considering I've bought from Balsam Hill in the past and enjoyed the quality. Consider looking at customer purchased photos before purchasing!

Thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed review. The Silverado Slim is styled with a narrower frame and intentionally more open spacing, which can feel quite different from fuller profiles even after shaping. Photos on our site show the tree at its best after an extensive fluff, but every design has its own look, some highlight a layered, airy silhouette while others are built for dense fullness. Since you’ve enjoyed our quality before, a fuller-profile collection may align better with your preferences, and customer photos are a great way to spot the style that matches what you want most.
The BEST Christmas trees in the marketplace!!!
I purchased a 6' unlit artificial Christmas tree from Balsam Hill recently. It is the Silverado Slim. I did not set up the due to the holidays being a few months from now. I have owned 2 other Balsam Hill trees. NOTHING ELSE COMPARES. Their trees are high quality and will bring a huge smile to your face each Christmas.
