Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

We buy a real tree that is between 5’-6’ every year. We drag this just murdered tree into our home and spend over 30 minuets fighting because of the stand. 3 years in a row. It drives me crazy. It is because of these stupid tree stands. I’m holding the tree, straight. IM HOLDING THE TREE STRAIGHT! YES, ITS STRAIGHT! Tightening these 1/4-20 bolts into the tree trunk, driving it into its soft round body, throwing the base off. The bolts, some years, are not long enough. I bought another base thinking it would hold these size trees NOPE So this year, the day I bought the tree I shopped amazon looking for one that would make all this stop. We got home, we fought, the tree was up, 2 days later I get a photo, no text, of the tree fallen over, water everyplace. Needles every where. I am broken inside. In the same hour, the stand arrived in the mail. It took SECONDS. If you’re mechanally inclined. You understand how this works, it works 100% and the outrigger feet. So nice. Feels so sturdy. If you’re buying blinker fluid from the auto store, you’re probably going to break it, it ratchets and double locks it in place. No need to drive the tree into its spike like a crazy person, just apply just enough force to break the surface, give it a firm final ratchet click and you’re done. I hope it never breaks. I love this thing. I’m so happy. If something happens, I’ll update here, but for meow I’m blasting All I want for Christmas is you! UPDATE 2018 so we bought our tree yesterday and I’m so happy about how easy it was! After the end of last year some water was difficult to remove out of the base, I left it in our boiler room and it stayed there until all the remaining water evaporated. Also I picked up a roomba this summer and the base with the robot are made for each other. It’s perfect when all the needles are off the floor so close to the base. I uploaded new pics and I hope Krinner reaches out to me, I would love to be friends with them.
