Product Information

If you’re planning on having a smaller tree, Cinco also offers the C-148E, which has the same quick-release system, but is just sized down a little. When the holiday season is finished, wash the interior of the basin with mild detergent and dry completely before putting in storage. Steve was especially impressed with the easy setup, saying, “I’ve never been able to set up a Christmas tree by myself. Debi liked that the Krinner was “very solid” but said that the 18-pound weight made it, “a bit cumbersome” moving it up and down the stairs when taking it out and putting it away for the season.

The following list includes only a small fraction of the tree stands we’ve considered over the years. Petite tabletop trees, in general, are less than four feet tall and have a trunk diameter of three inches maximum, so you'll only need a modest tree stand to match. The outer plastic construction holds one litre of water, to keep your tree hydrated and healthy, essential for glossy green needles.

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. Because it has the capacity to hold a 12-foot tree, the screws on the Cinco don’t extend far enough to grip a tree with a trunk diameter less than 3½ inches (which, in our test, was about a 6-foot-8 tree). I’m not sure why the manufacturers don’t just include a secure locking mechanism with the product itself. 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.

However, I’ve been checking the water level by hand as well, and the indicator on mine has been reliable. and then there are German-engineered Krinner Christmas tree stands, and there is a whole world of difference between the two. Sometimes tinsel isn't enough to create the look you are after, and why should the tree be the only thing to light up? The other major complaint is a loss of tension in the ratchet and claw mechanism, which can allow a tree to topple over.

Only the exceptionally sturdy stands could resist it, and the exercise objectively helped us identify the best products in our test. Its reservoir is more exposed than the Krinner’s, which makes it easier to fill, but some pets could treat it like a giant pine-scented water dish in your living room.Plus, this stand’s one-minute, foot pump-driven setup is unique and worth the extra expense, particularly if you dread the traditional process. A stand should have a sizable water reservoir to prevent needles from drying out and falling all over the floor. The patented safety belt with its step-by-step ratchet mechanism provides additional safety to ensure the tree cannot fall over spontaneously. We’d add the Cinco is likely to be better able to compensate for crooked trees or trees with knots or other odd shapes at the point where it attaches to the stand. Many of the Christmas tree stands designed for natural trees are too large to hold artificial ones, but not this classic wooden product.

In recent years, we’ve seen a number of Krinner impersonators show up, like the Northlight Green Metal Foot Pedal Christmas Tree Stand and the Blissun Christmas Tree Stand. The finish is whitewashed grey, so neutral enough to suit most decors, and it adds a pleasing Scandi vibe. With the Tree Genie XXL your tree can be comfortably adjusted at any time, no additional helping hands needed.And it does look pretty innovative – without any tools needed, three pieces of metal are snugly slotted together around your tree and fixed in place with wooden wedges. The Krinner has a unique fastening mechanism that’s far simpler and easier to use than that of any other tree stand we found. According to the manufacturer, this problem can be eliminated by using a small padlock to secure the lock toggle in place (you could also use a little bolt). 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.
