The premium artificial Christmas tree is carefully packaged. The sturdy cardboard box offers sufficient protection during transport. Despite the avoidance of unnecessary packaging waste, the use of plastic film could be seen as critical for some consumers. The product packaging contains the three parts of the artificial Christmas tree, a wooden stand, a storage bag, felt glides, an Allen key and assembly gloves. An illustrated instruction manual in German and English is also included, which also contains video instructions via a QR code.

Unboxing
The premium artificial Christmas tree is characterised by its attractive, timeless design. The needles are made of PE and the tree stand is made of wood. The workmanship is very good and there are no visible defects such as creases, breaks or unclean transitions. The material used appears stable and makes a robust impression. Although no explicit information is given on the sustainability of the product, the high-quality workmanship suggests a certain longevity. The artificial Christmas tree can also be reused for years to come.

*Themaximum score is 100 points
As part of our practical test, we tested the premium artificial Christmas tree in detail and documented the results using the specified test methods. Assembly is simple, but takes around 45 minutes, which is normal for a product of this type. The tree stands securely and stably even when decorated thanks to the wooden stand. With a height of 220 cm and PE tips, the tree looks almost real, especially due to the brown trunk and the extra dense branches. The flexible branches allow the decorations to be evenly distributed without gaps. The Christmas tree can also be stored to save space and comes with a practical storage bag. Another plus: the tree can be reused every year, which not only saves costs but also prevents needles from falling every year. Customers can currently choose between two different sizes.

*Themaximum score is 100 points
At the time of testing, the product had not been listed on Amazon for long enough. Therefore, the existing reviews do not sufficiently reflect the advantages and disadvantages of the product, so this point is neglected in the evaluation.
Prices of over €580 are charged on the internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available from as little as €54 . The premium artificial Christmas tree from Håvn® is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €99.99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
