I've put up a Christmas tree for twelve years now. I have five Christmas tree stands. Some are hard to use. Some break. Some I lose the parts for. And some just got outclassed by the next thing on the market with better ergonomics. To make your life easier I've put together a list for you on what to use and what not to.
Before you buy a Christmas tree stand make sure you know what you should be looking for.

The Standtastic Christmas Tree Stand is my top choice for holding my Christmas Trees. I haven't found a better stand yet.
This tree stand operates differently than any other so all those features I've told you to look for before you buy a Christmas tree stand don't exactly apply to this one.

4. The Basic Stand

This is the most basic of basic stands you can get. And you can get them almost anywhere. But you shouldn't.
They are weak and flimsy and don't provide much water for a thirsty tree.
