Christmas tree stand recs

[drloretta]

We desperately need a new Christmas tree stand this year. Who wants to recommend theirs?

We have a cast iron one from the local hardware store. We don't fool around. Lol.

oh, and they're kind of expensive, but my parents have one and it's lasted them forever. Kind of like this one.

Do you get your tree somewhere they can drill? We bought ours at the tree farm. It was around $80 I think but we got the heavy duty one because we get tall/fat trees. I love it because you don't have to mess around with getting it straight. We have the super five but the super four would be great for normal sized trees.

We got the st. Nicks choice adjustable tree stand at lowes. No more fighting about getting the tree straight. It's seriously amazing.

Lurker chiming in...two years ago I bought a Krinner Christmas tree Genie stand. It's rather spendy at around $100 on Amazon Prime and heavy, but it is the best stand I've ever seen. It has a foot pedal that cranks the tree into place in about a minute. No fussing, no issues with it being straight, easy as pie and no fighting with DH. Totally worth the investment.

Similar to others above but ours is the Swivel Straight stand. Best thing ever!

I got a cast iron one from Home Depot, like the above. There's no substitute. It even holds up against the manic dogs.

Whichever holds the most water. We have one that holds a gallon+ of water. Like this one. We have had it for about 10 years.

Ours is similar to this one and we got it for $15 at Target. Even though we get a 6 ft tree we get a tree stand that can handle an 8 ft tree.

Every year we agree that the Krinner was our best purchase ever.
