With Thanksgiving having already been forgotten to make room for more Christmas, the trees are going up. Have one less headache this Christmas season and buy this stand. Instead of cussing because the tree is heavy, off balance, and that piece of shite stand you bought at Walmart last year is leaking all over the wood floors, you could be sitting back drinking an old fashioned and smelling a fresh fir in your living room.

Yes it's $150 ($130 if you buy directly from the manufacturer's website) but this thing will save your marriage.

I'd spend $150 on this, and the next year my wife would replace it with some rusty 1950's piece of shite metal tree stand she found at an estate sale because "I just like the look of this one more."

I’ve had mine for about ten years and I wish I had bought mine earlier. Far and away the best tree stand

Oh my sweet summer child. But then how would the house fill with the scent of pine? Because I've been told that every year when I bring up that it would be easier to just buy an artificial tree.

Can confirm, bought one 3 years ago after Christmas on sale. No more cussing and fit throwing cause tree needs turned or isn’t straight. Stand makes it easy to spin the tree and you can loosen and tighten with just one lever. No need to crawl under tha tree and screw bolts. Also watering is easy and the float means you don’t over fill it and make a big arse mess.

Going on 30 years w/ artificial. They look so damned real now. Not a lot of fun getting in and out of the attic, but much less hassle (and hazard) from real.

I do miss the smell though...

in my 30 or so years of fricking around with live Christmas trees, I've never not made a mess with installment or removal of one.

Are some of yall the most incapable men of all time?

I didn’t even know there were “issues” with the normal shitty tree stand. It takes 1 minute to get the tree in and straight by adjusting which screws for tightness

Thank you for this. Christmas tree stands keep me up at night. Worried about leaks, falling, etc


Do you recommend the xxl or xxl delux?

That’s going to be an expensive package of pine scent.
