Firstly, Christmas tree stands are used to keep a live tree upright and stable. Without a tree stand, a freshly cut real Christmas tree would fall over as, without support, the trunk isn't wide enough to support the branches on its own. Here at Christmas Trees Direct, all our tree stands show the suitable height, trunk diameter and volume of water held at a glance, so it's simple to choose the perfect stand for your tree. Another well-named product, this Heirloom tree stand from John Wright looks every bit the part of a Victorian Christmas tree stand—but it’s no refurbished antique. It’s made from cast iron with a smooth, rust-resistant urethane finish and certainly durable enough to provide a lifetime of use–and then some. Drop the tree into the cylinder (which is an integrated part of the base, not something that’s welded on), then tighten the three massive brass-plated eye screws. As for the kind of water to use, plain tap water is just fine. You might be advised to add sugar, aspirin, lemonade or even vodka but most experts agree that plain water works best. How to hide a Christmas tree stand This cast iron decorative Christmas tree stand adds some old-world decorative style to your Christmas scene.

How do I set up my Christmas tree stand?Christmas tree stands are generally straightforward to set up, although it helps if you have another person to help, especially if you have a tall tree. If you've never stabilised a Christmas tree with a stand before, here's an easy step-by-step guide: This decorative cast iron stand features a handmade design, which stands out in comparison to other less decorative stands. (You may not even want to use a tree skirt or collar!) The spike in the center of the stand provides stability for trees up to 8 feet tall. Since the base is heavy, it has the potential to damage floors. However, this stand includes foot pads to prevent scratches and marks on wood floors. And although this stand has a high price tag, it’ll last you for years with its urethane finish and powder coating that prevents rusting and chipping. When it comes to holiday decorating, it’s always nice to have options. Maybe the initial placement of your tree doesn’t mesh with the flow of your home or maybe you like to assemble your tree first and then decide on a final location. In either case, a rolling stand gives you free rein to design (and redesign) as much as you like.

Different tree stands are designed to hold different size trees. Most Christmas tree stands can support trees between 7 and 9 feet tall. However, smaller tree stands can typically accommodate trees between 5 and 8 feet—think about smaller bedroom trees or apartment decorations.Make sure the tree is unwrapped completely before you attempt to put it in the stand, as it will balance differently once it's loose.
