Christmas Tree Genie Steel - Green Tree Stand - Original Single Cable Operation, Holds up to 15 ft Live Trees - Foot Pedal Setup & Water Reservoir - 4 Stabilizing Feet, German Made

Held my 10 1/2ft tree all Christmas! It was so easy to put it into the stand and secure. Held enough water for my tree just be careful not to overfill or it will leak out. I would be confident getting an 11’ or 12’ tree next year. I was worried and didn’t want to spend so much on a stand but you get what you pay for and this stand is great!

Buy once cry once; buy nice or buy twice. That's the motto of this AWESOME made in Germany stand. Steel. Welded. And you simply open the jaws, set in the tree, straighten it, and then press the foot pedal and you're done. It's that simple. No more screws and redoing it over and over, crawling on the floor under the tree (which I have done for 48 years before this beautiful thing arrived. If you decide the tree isn't straight later, just release the jaws, adjust, then repress the pedal. One of the best purchases of 2020 for us.

We bought this tree stand last year because our previous tree stand broke and caused the tree to fall shattering a bunch of our ornaments. Our previous tree stand, which was also rated up to 15 foot trees, never really felt sturdy enough, This thing is a rock though. It can take anything you can put in it. The cables tighten down and hold the tree steady no matter how big and full the tree. We loved this stand so much, we bought a second one.

The media could not be loaded. We woke up to a Christmas nightmare. All our presents were damaged, soaking wet, kids crying, and candy was ruined. Our stand had been leaking at EVERY joint and in the middle for the entire month! We never noticed because of the tree skirt and the presents under the tree.With larger trees, it's normal for them to drink upward to a gallon a day, so we never thought about it. Now we're looking at mold, subfloor, and carpet damage.They did refund my purchase price (gee thanks). What about the THOUSANDS of dollars in water damage caused by their product? My stand was even $100.00 less last year than people are paying now.Ironically, we bought this one out of fear the plastic one would leak.

Because of our cathedral ceiling we often get a 10-15 foot tree. We needed a new stand this year because our old was starting to rust and making it hard to turn the screws. Which is why this stand, though expensive, seemed like a great choice because there are no screws. Was easy enough to set up - although, full disclosure, due to the tree shortage this year our tree was only about 9 feet tall. It handled the 9foot easily however and is sturdy. Haven't taken the tree down yet so I have nothing to offer there and have my fingers crossed that it will handle larger trees just as well.

This product was cracked underneath and we didn't see it, so after loading our 8 ft tree in and stabilising it, we filled it with water which created a large pool of water all over the floor. After removing the tree and cleaning up,my husband found the crack. The other thing that he noticed is that it had sand on it when he opened the box. It looked like it may have been returned. Amazon ended up giving us a refund and we purchased the krinner metal genie which is great and very stable.

Pros: easy to set up in seconds, easy to water, saves fighting with my husband if the tree is straight. It straightens the tree as you step on the latch.Cons: didn’t find it years ago to save fighting with my husband while trying to screw individual screws to straighten tree.

Very stable device and is great for medium to large tree trunks The only problem is that it cannot close down far enough to accommodate a small trunk.
