Krinner Christmas tree stand green

Product Information

It’s ideal for the magnificent Christmas trees that grace hallways, entrance halls, and all manner of wide-open spaces.

The largest size is pretty heavy at 18 pounds, but this weight helps ensure tall trees don't topple over.

Their purpose pretty much speaks for itself, as cut trees topple over without proper support at the base (shattering ornaments and creating a mess in the process). Petite tabletop trees in general are less than four foot tall and have a trunk diameter of three inches maximum, so you’ll only need a modest tree stand to match.

THE best Christmas tree stands are designed to keep your tree secure and stable – and these days, you can find ones that look good, too. L.Bean's Heirloom Christmas Tree Stand is a great choice if you are putting your tree in a high-traffic area—or just want reassurance that it won't fall over—but don't want to sacrifice style.

The Cosmopolitan comes in three sizes: The smallest is meant for tabletop and accent trees up to 5 feet tall, and the largest can accommodate trees up to 8 and a half feet tall. Wright includes a nickel-plated steel bar to insert through the eye of the screw to help you turn it, and a flange nut on the end of each screw provides firm, well-distributed pressure and prevents the screw from digging into the tree’s bark. For the one rolling stand for artificial trees we had, we inserted an artificial tree in it and wheeled it around.

Lyons explains that cutting a tree releases sap that seals the bases of the tree, which prevents it from drinking enough water. If only the area around the claws shows this type of wear, the structure of the stand is not impaired.

The three screws will do a great job of holding the wonkiest of trees in place, and its wide, flat base makes it one of the most stable Christmas tree stands we’ve come across. Being able to tighten its grip without bending down to rotate various screws is a huge bonus, and we loved the way in which an internal guide results in evenly distributed pressure on the tree trunk. Flip your stand over to look at the underside of the foot pedal and locate the metal plate which engages with the teeth of the wheel. If you want to put your tree up, but don’t want to put your back out, the Krinner Comfort stand is worthy of your attention.
