National Tree Company Christmas Tree Folding Stand, Green, For Trees 4 - 6 Feet, 16 Inches

The plastic stand that came with our 7.5 foot artificial tree broke after years of use. Not wanting to toss out our beautiful Christmas tree, we tried to find a sturdier replacement made specifically for artificial trees. Having no success, we came across this one which is made for live trees - but decided to give it a try anyway. This worked out perfectly for our artificial tree - even if it is not being sold for that purpose. It is sturdy, holds the tree well, and folds up nicely for easy storage. Obviously I cannot guarantee that it will work for your artificial tree, but it has worked well for ours.

I have to admit I was worried that it wasn't strong enough. I set up a plastic tree outdoors in a center of the gazebo. The cheap stand that came with the tree was simply not able to hold up the tree in the outdoors. And so we set up rocks to prop the tree up but it was tilting and not secure.And so this was the cheapest alternative. I did worry that it would not be able to properly hold up the tree. However, when it arrived, I could see right away that the metal was strong and sturdy. And it was made well -- no assembly required.I got a friend to help me set it on the new base and it's standing tall and straight. Great buy!

This tree stand was a "perfect fit" for my 7-ft Christmas tree. . . so much so that I really didn't even need to use the screws (I did, but the stand had a depth so ample that it allowed the tree to stand up by itself) to tighten it. The original stand which was much smaller, but efficient, had been misplaced. I ordered this size because a smaller one I had intended to order earlier was no longer available. I'm am sure; however, that I will be able to use my new tree stand for a long time and, since I put it away in its own box, I'm certain that I won't lose it any time soon. Very sturdy product--well worth the money spent.

We received a much smaller stand for our tree two years ago. The tree is a very slim one, but about 7' high, and a leg of the stand broke. We decided to try a new stand instead of a new tree. It seemed like all of the stands fit a 1.25" pole, and when we got the stand, it was much bigger and much sturdier than the one we had received before. However, the hole was too big (which is strange, because I think our tree is from the same brand). You CAN buy stands that have inserts if you have a smaller pole in your tree, but they are more than twice the price. Instead, I took the easy way and just wrapped duct tape around the bottom of the tree until it fit snugly into the stand's hole. The duct tape is hidden, and the tree is sturdy, so I'm happy!

Our 6 ft. tall artificial Xmas tree plastic stand/base finally cracked resulting in a toppled tree and damaged ornaments. Found this metal tree stand on Amazon with good reviews for both the product and the vendor that sells it. Received this metal tree stand within the allotted delivery days. Easy to fold out and screw in the metal holding screws for the base of the artificial tree trunk. Too late to use it for this Xmas but will definitely use this metal stand for Xmas next year. I tested this stand and it's holding up quite well and stable with the tree in place (with ornaments and lights). I applied WD-40 (and a thin application of Vaseline petroleum jelly) to the 3 metal holding screws and the insert holes to prevent any rust during storage like some of the other reviewers suggested. This metal stand will save us from buying a new $100 or $200 artificial Xmas tree just because the plastic stand/base that the tree came in broke. None of the major stores or hardware stores around our town were selling this type of metal stand.

We chose this replacement stand for our 9-foot tree, but it doesn't work for a 1.5 inch diameter pole. My husband had to "thicken" the poke with corrugated and duct tape. Because there is only ONE screw to tighten, the tree leans a bit. There should be THREE screws to properly balance the tree. The stand is sturdy, but will only work on 1.25 inch OR 2 inch diameters.

My mothers fake tree stand broke a month before Christmas. The one she had before was a stand that was made form hard plastic and it only lasts so long. She has had her tree for ten + years. so I needed to find a stand that would last her tree and if she buys a new one. In my opinion this stand is great, well built, well put together and easy to use. When you first get it you need to take it out of the box and unscrew two bolts/thumb screws. After that it twists outward and you use those same thumb screws to lock it into place. This stand holds most trees and holds most poles up to 1 inch & 1/4. This stand is very sturdy and will not fall over once the pole and legs are locked into place. I would recommend this to everyone who has fake Christmas trees up to 8 feet.
