If you’re anything like us, decorating your Christmas tree is one of your most enjoyable, treasured holiday traditions. Seeing ornaments glisten amongst the tree lights always evokes magical memories. Keep your Christmas tree the center of attention and prevent potential disaster with a sturdy, reliable tree stand. While aesthetics are important, they aren’t everything. The best Christmas tree stand should be easy to assemble and provide a strong base for your elegant evergreen. Although it’s a bit of an investment, we like that this tree stand is compact and easy to store. Plus, the rotation feature is smooth and silent, so it won’t disrupt any holiday activities.

Different tree stands are designed to hold different size trees. Most Christmas tree stands can support trees between 7 and 9 feet tall. However, smaller tree stands can typically accommodate trees between 5 and 8 feet—think about smaller bedroom trees or apartment decorations. Escalate the brilliance of the Christmas season by showing off the myriad lights on the decorated tree, which revolves 360 degrees every 70 seconds. The operating switch on this rotating tree stand allows users to choose from two modes of operation: “rotation with lights” or “lights only” without rotation. Tree stands aren't typically conversation pieces, but this one is in a league of its own. Made by Danish designer Fritz Hansen, the Stella Christmas Tree Base flaunts an eight-pointed star, which makes it not only beautiful to look at but also incredibly sturdy. It's crafted from FSC-certified wood, meaning the timber was sourced from responsibly managed forests in line with Forest Stewardship Council sustainability criteria. If online options haven’t worked for you, Mango suggests buying a Christmas tree stand at your local tree lot. “I recommend purchasing the stands that the tree lots offer that are already installed. They mainly are made with legs that are rebar and a plastic pan for the water, and they install the tree, so it’s straight and secure.” The Tree Genie is made primarily of powder-coated stainless steel, an extremely durable, rust-resistant, easy-to-clean material. The claws and lever are made of ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), a thermoplastic with high tensile strength. The largest size is pretty heavy at 18 pounds, but this weight helps ensure tall trees don't topple over. Plus, this stand has a patented metal cable that ensures equal pressure from each claw if the trunk is crooked or otherwise off-kilter.This sturdy base can handle artificial trees up to 8.5 feet tall and those with a maximum trunk diameter of 1.25 inches. We also like that there are two switches on this stand, one for the lights and one for the tree rotation, so you can choose how you want to use the stand. Though it’s not necessarily a dealbreaker, note that the stand only rotates in one direction. If you don't want to spend much money on a stand, one option is to get a plastic base that has spikes on it,” says Spaulding. “These are easy to find at any store, and they're relatively cheap. However, keep in mind that these kinds of bases won't hold up very well if you have pets or children who like to climb trees.” Your Christmas tree’s safety is important, and so is your peace of mind. It would help if you never had to worry about your XMAS tree falling over due to an unstable tree stand. Additionally, it would help if you never had to trade the ability to move your tree around your home. TreeKeeper Universal Rolling Christmas Tree Stand easily adjusts the width between 30 inches and 36 inches to properly fit your 7-12 ft Christmas tree and ensure its stability. The stand will raise your tree an additional 2.90 inches above the floor. The shaft that holds the tree is 7.55 inches long, and the base is adjustable. The natural beechwood legs feature a protective coating that stands up to sap and is also gentle on floors. Four durable, ergonomic metal pins allow you to adjust your tree precisely and will keep it upright all season long. We like the unusual design of this stand if you’re looking for something different and more modern.

Before selecting the most suitable rotating Christmas tree stand, shoppers should consider the size of the tree they intend to display. Product descriptions include information about the maximum height and weight of trees that each Christmas tree stand will support. Be aware that the calculated weight of the tree includes all the ornaments and decorations that adorn it. In addition to weight, it’s important to observe height limitations to ensure that the Christmas tree stand can safely support the tree. Christmas tree stands are a necessity for anyone who brings a tree into their home during the holiday season. Their purpose pretty much speaks for itself, as cut trees topple over without proper support at the base (shattering ornaments and creating a mess in the process). Plus, like floral bouquets, they need water to prevent drying out and last as long as possible. There are also stands for artificial Christmas trees, which have slightly different features including a rotating design, for a stunning display in your front window, or wheels to make decorating easier. To set up a rotating Christmas tree, assemble the rotating tree stand according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Place the stand in the desired location and secure the tree onto the stand, following the provided guidelines. Plug in the rotating stand, which should begin rotating the tree once activated. Why is my rotating Christmas tree stand not working? The most important thing to look for in a Christmas tree stand is stability,” says Tara Spaulding, interior design coordinator for Patio Productions. “A stable base will ensure that the tree stays upright, and it will also prevent tipping over or falling over.”Constructed from acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) plastic, the stand provides a durable base for artificial trees up to 7.5 feet tall and 80 pounds (with decorations). Three built-in, two-pronged electrical outlets offer ample capacity for plugging in Christmas lights without entangling multiple cords.
