Elf Logic - Christmas Tree Stand - Adjustable Heavy Duty Large Christmas Tree Stand - Made For Real Christmas or Holiday Trees up to 8ft Tall - Christmas Tree Stand Tray Included

If you want to have a massive fight with your family while hoisting the annual tree, go ahead and try this on for size! Simple my a$$. I wept and he gave up. However, if you figure out some hacks, such as sliding the end of the strap out of its plastic cincher, and then pulling the plastic buckle down until it meets the tray/stand base and tying the excess strap in about 500 knots, your tree will stay put. I had to buy this because every single online and retail source seems to be out of tree stands if you are the type who doesn't buy your tree the day after Thanksgiving. NO ONE had a stand left, unless you forked out $120. Sorry, my tree is 4' tall and he gets what I give him.I like the watering pan since it's easier not to spill all over the floor, and makes it impossible for the family pets to get in there for a sip or two. But after a few days, it's starting to lean forward and I am NOT going there again. So little Charlie Brown Tree will just have to tilt slightly to the left until the mulcher comes.

Update: Well last year the stand flipped....thought we had it figured out with using our weights to prevent flipping....BUT this year (Christmas 2017) Our tree came down again...the collar around the trunk slipped down the trunk a bit and two straps got loose and bam, down went the tree....at least this year the whole stand did not flip and spill water.....Seems we are batting 1000 on this stand - two Christmas's and two downed trees...I think the bottom line is the collar is just NOT Made for skinny trees.....Tonight I will put some screws in the collar strap to hold it in place and REDO the tree......Old review from 2016 follows..Our little tree (about a 6 foot super skinny white spruce) flipped the WHOLE stand over...tree stayed in the straps and stand, but the whole stand even filled with water flipped over. After we got the mess of water sopped up, and I looked it over to see if I could tell WHY it all flipped, and it appears to me that one of the rings on the collar slipped about maybe a 1/2 of an inch, and that was all it took to flip the whole SHOOTING MATCH.We have reassembled everything, and recovered all our lights/ornaments, and this time I have put 30 lbs of dumbbell weights around the edge of the stand to better stabilize it.On the plus side, it was easier to get the tree in it, AND frankly, I think if my tree was not so skinny, the collar would have fit tighter and not allowed the D ring to slip. THAT SAID, be safe and weight down the edges of this stand. (I saw another post from last year that said they affixed the stand to a quarter sheet of ply wood - that would work better, BUT I do not have room to store that...)

Can be made to work. I am a fan of the stands that use straps rather than screws. Stands like this I used in the past had a chain that went around the trunk - this one uses an adjustable strap around the trunk. Problem - the strap does not stay tight causing the straps to loosen causing the tree to tilt and fall. I tried knotting the strap to keep it from sliding through the clasp but no luck. I resolved the problem by replacing the strap for the trunk with a zip tie (a.k.a. cable tie).P.S. Placing the zip tie 18 inches or so up the trunk, as the instructions say, increases stability.

Our tree repeatedly tilted to an angle. It's very hard to keep the tree straight. This was probably because our tree trunk wasn't very thick. The part of the stand that goes into the tree trunk with "teeth" assumes a thicker tree trunk. Our tree wasn't too large, about 5-6 feet tall when we cut it.

This really was the easiest tree stand I have every used. The tree was up, single-handed, within ten minutes from the time I opened the box. Adjustments were easy and I never worried the tree might fall over. I love that it allows me to leave low branches on the tree - they hid the straps and diminished the appearance of the base. The only downside, and it is minor to me, is that I could not use a tree skirt. The trunk opening on the tree skirt won't fit due to the straps. I kind of wrapped the skirt around to hide the base, and it was okay. But if you love the look of a traditional tree skirt this stand is not for you.

I do not recommend this tree stand. It is made of very lightweight plastic and unable to support a 9 foot tree. I bought this tree stand specifically to support a 9 foot tree. We followed the meager instructions for attaching the straps to the trunk, but each time we would adjust the straps and then try to let go of the tree, it would begin tipping over, taking the tree stand with it. It was only after about an hour of adjusting and readjusting the straps, followed by my father modifying the tree stand by bolting it to a 30"x30" piece of plywood, that it was able to support my 9 foot tree. This tree stand is neither deluxe nor simple to use for a tree up to 9 feet tall.

This was really easy to set up.I was able to do it in about ten minutes only asking my wife to look which way it was tilted so I could adjust the straps.I've always had the screw type tree stand and the adjustment process for proper alignment was always difficult.Some other reviews mention that it could tip over if the upper strap loosens, so I'll monitor this and report any problems.

Very clever. Saved us alot of frustration. Our Tree did shift over time and the teeth made it difficult to straighten after it shifted.
