Top 10 Tree Stands

With Christmas fast approaching, it's about time you started searching for a tree. Although finding a tree can be straightforward enough, finding a matching stand that fits the size and style of the tree can be a little more difficult. Even if it's just a stand for a garden tree or house tree, consider all the different shapes and types on offer.
  1. Omega Tree Stand

    • Designed specifically for Christmas trees, this particular stand requires two people to set up: one person needs to hold the stand and the other inserts the tree into the base. The stand itself uses nylon clamps that you can easily slide into the base. The Omega stand can support trees up to 10 feet high.

    Meijer Commercial-Grade Christmas Tree Stand

    • This particular stand is made from solid steel and can support trees up to 10 feet tall and 7 inches in trunk diameter. The base also includes a "Circle Piece" center system that you can attach to the tree (to make it sit perfectly central) before you lock it in.
