Winter Wonder Rotating Christmas Tree Stand for Artificial Trees

Product Information

The first thing to consider when buying a stand is compatibility—not all stands work with all trees. For one, real Christmas tree stands do not work with artificial trees, and vice versa. For safety and efficiency, the manufacturers of rotating Christmas tree stands set height and weight limits for the trees that their stands can successfully support. Here’s an attractive choice for a stand that will support a small to medium-size tree while it rotates 365 degrees. The revolving stand from Teal Turtle is intended for artificial trees weighing no more than 80 pounds when fully adorned with Christmas ornaments. You can choose from oak wood, which has a cooler tone, or teak, which is a bit warmer—just keep in mind teak is known to turn a grayish hue over time. The gleaming gilt-style water basin is brass-plated steel, a durable material with a high-end holiday appeal. One thing to note is that it can only support trunks up to 3.7 inches in diameter. The average is closer to 5 inches, so it's best for small-to-medium trees. Rotating Christmas tree stands are generally constructed of either metal or plastic, and in most cases, metal is seen as a more durable material than plastic. If a large, heavy tree is to be displayed, a heavy-duty Christmas tree stand made of metal may be a wise choice.

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. The Tree Genie XXL stand has a 20-inch diameter and is made of a plastic resin. It weighs approximately 18 pounds without water. The base holds 2.5 gallons and features a water level indicator that tells you when to refill the water. The Tree Genie L has an 18-inch diameter, weighs 13 pounds, holds a gallon of water, and accommodates trees up to 8 feet tall.Some revolving tree stands require minimal setup, and many are ready to use straight out of the box. If setup is required, it usually takes only a couple of minutes and a screwdriver. Once it’s set up, the stand is ready to plug in and operate. The German-engineeredKrinner Tree Genie Christmas Tree Stand is easy to set up in a couple of minutes and keeps trees up to 12 feet tall secure. 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. Puleo International is known for its beautiful Christmas trees and wreaths for all seasons. This rotating Christmas tree stand is available at a budget-friendly price, and it highlights the beauty of a glimmering artificial tree by showing it from all sides.

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. While you should always read the instructional booklet that comes with your specific tree stand, Spaulding has a few tips that generally apply across the board.

Best Affordable Rotating Tree Stand

Water capacity: How much water your real tree needs depends on the size of the tree. But a 6-foot Christmas tree, for instance, will drink roughly a gallon of water each day. "Trees drink the most the first few days following a fresh cut," says Lyons. "It's very important to not let water run out in the stand." This typically means you need to refill it daily, so how easily it is to fill and the capacity is important to consider.

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. This decorative cast iron stand features a handmade design, which stands out in comparison to other less decorative stands. (You may not even want to use a tree skirt or collar!) The spike in the center of the stand provides stability for trees up to 8 feet tall. Since the base is heavy, it has the potential to damage floors. However, this stand includes foot pads to prevent scratches and marks on wood floors. And although this stand has a high price tag, it’ll last you for years with its urethane finish and powder coating that prevents rusting and chipping. For the most part, metal Christmas tree stands are the best Christmas tree stands for larger and heavier trees as metal is sturdier than plastic. Spaulding added they are also better for trees in high-traffic areas like living rooms or if you have children or pets who like to tug and potentially climb trees. Plastic tree stands are great for short-term use as they aren’t as long-lasting, especially if you're looking for a one-and-done tree stand at a more affordable price.A good tree stand serves as a base that not only secures the trunk of the tree upright, but gives space to add water and be a stabilizing base. There are plenty of good stands out there that make setting up your tree a fast and easy process, and you don’t have to pay a pretty penny for a top-notch option.
