If you’ve had a prelit tree for a few years…

[IndieRocknRoll]

Where is it from? We had an M&S one a few years back & the lights broke the second year so half the tree lit up and the other half didn’t! Ended up binning it.
We’ve had real trees since but I’d like an artificial one again. Please recommend any you have that are still going strong!

We got one in the John Lewis post Christmas sale. It was ex display and has been going strong for about 5 years

I've got a Balsam Hill. Got it in one of their sales about 10 years ago, and it's till going strong.

My B&Q one is going very strong and still looking brilliant after 15 years.

Got a WeRChristmas one from amazon 10 years ago. Still working perfectly.

I opted not to get one as there are always reviews saying the lights stopped working.

I know that with Balsam Hill you can buy replacement lights if they stop working but they can take months and months to arrive.

I have two non-lit BH trees and they are lovely but my favourite is my White Stores one for less than half the price. They do pre-lit ones so worth taking a look at them

We have a Balsalm Hill one for about 8 years now and fingers crossed it’s still ok. Bought another one in the sale last year for the living room so hopefully that will be ok too. I don’t think we opened it to check.

Has anyone used ChristmasTreeWorld?

Another vote for Balsam Hill- expensive but worth it.

Homebase. But I think they are no more so not very helpful.

Homebase here as well and still going strong ten years later

I have a home bargains one that's on year 5 and still perfect.

We have an Argos one that has to be 15-20 years old, still works. I did have to repair the power cable one year when one of the cats chewed it, but still going strong.

Christmas Tree World, still going strong and looks fabulous

Notcutts Garden Centres. They're online as well as in physical stores. We've had ours for 10 years and it's still going strong.

Ours is from Costco. It’s at least 10 years old and hopefully will still be going strong this year .

Another vote for Balsam Hill - we have two and they’re good as new after 5-6 years

Thanks all, I will check out the BH ones (though I know they are £££ so will need to work on DH 😭)
will also look at white stores & Christmas tree world.

Same here, ours is about 8 years old. I hope I haven’t jinxed it now!

Tesco, also 15- 20 years old. It was half price in the sale back when they had Tesco Direct. Such a bargain.

A Tesco one here, it’s on its 9th Christmas and still going strong. It’s a 6ft one and was about £60.

Asda. Pre lit and with fake snow.

Ours is M&S and had no issues

Ours is John Lewis and the lights did stop working after a few years. I think it could be fixed but we just ignore the built in lights and put on additional ones, which do tend to vary. It's irritating in a way because I bought it hoping the lights-faff would be a thing of the past, but no. But it's also a blessing as I realise I do like having a different look each year. I have coloured sets and one that is three shades of gold which I might use this year. But who knows

Our oldest BH tree is 10+ and still going strong , the other is 7/8 and also fine .
