Krinner K67 94710 15.4" Tree Stand-Green, Plastic Metal, M

Product Information

Only the exceptionally sturdy stands could resist it, and the exercise objectively helped us identify the best products in our test. The Krinner Comfort medium Christmas tree stand is equipped with the original single cable operation. Some Christmas tree stands are designed to optimise your tree’s survival and reduce your own stress of getting poked by wonky tree needles. inch diameter trunk, some other stands’ screws could barely extend far enough to meet the trunk (and they wouldn’t work with a tree any smaller than that).

Another reason to add a padlock is to prevent a child from accidentally releasing the tree from the stand. Your tree becomes the centrepiece of any room during the festive period so it's important to make sure it's supported, and safe around your curious little ones and all your impressed guests who might want to take a closer look. Unlike stands that require you to wriggle the tree in and fasten it into place with metal hooks, this Krinner stand uses a foot pump to secure the tree, so it's a one-person job. In our stability testing, the Krinner Tree Genie XXL was able to max out our force gauge at 50 Newtons when testing with both small and tall trees.The Krinner has a unique fastening mechanism that’s far simpler and easier to use than that of any other tree stand we found.

To tighten, I pumped the pedal a few times with my foot, which cranked the cable and therefore the plastic pegs around the trunk. Make sure that you choose one of our premium real Christmas tree stands for a safe and secure festive season. No matter how many metres of lights you wrap, or how many heavy glass trinkets you hang, your tree will remain standing tall.To a toddler, the curiosity factor of the lever and the bright red lock toggle is off the charts, and it doesn’t take much to shift the toggle and press the lever up, causing the tree to topple over. The downside is that the tree is secured by four cumbersome hand-twisted bolts, but they do have a quick-release—this speeds up the process considerably and sets this stand apart from the many other similar designs. 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. If you want your Christmas tree to roll around your house, looking like an office chair, the TreeKeeper Heavy-Duty Metal Rolling Christmas Tree Stand is one to think about.

Setting up a tree from a standing position and not having any bolts to tighten are pretty radical improvements on the traditional method. Our trees are available in multiple sizes, from small dwarf trees that are ideal for table décor to large 6-foot potted Christmas trees. The National Christmas Tree Association notes that, “Generally, a tree can use up to one quart of water per day for each inch of stem diameter. Think of this as a particularly good version of your basic tree stand—you still have to crawl underneath to secure the trunk while someone helps hold the tree from the top, but at least you’ll spend a little less time down there. We had hands-on time with the Tree Genie XXL Deluxe, which matches our main pick spec for spec with a couple of exceptions.One was 6 feet 8 inches tall with a trunk diameter of 3½ inches, and the other was 8 feet 4 inches tall with a trunk diameter of 5½ inches—a fairly typical span between large and small, which let us gauge how well each stand could handle most people’s trees. In 2012, we took our top four stands to Adams Nurseries in Lancaster, New York, where the staff members generously loaned us a pair of trees to set up and take down. You simply set the tree in the stand, press several times on a foot pedal, and the five very sturdy plastic claws, looped together with a heavy-gauge metal wire, tighten down against the tree trunk to set it in position. The opening to the basin on this tree stand itself is fairly narrow, but the indicator, located on the opposite side of the tree stand from the foot pump, tells you when to refill with water and when to stop filling, eliminating the need to peer into the basin.
