Krinner K67 94710 15.4" Tree Stand-Green, Plastic Metal, M

Product Information

The following list includes only a small fraction of the tree stands we’ve considered over the years.

Honestly, I was astounded at how quickly and easily I got my tree into the stand—and at how evenly the mechanism rights the tree.We purchased the Krinner Christmas Tree Genie so our expert reviewer could put it to the test at her home. The Cinco is designed for a big tree (up to about 12 feet), so if you’re looking for a stand to hold a smaller tree (roughly 7 feet or less), we recommend downsizing to the Cinco C-148E (which is the same stand, just smaller). Just place your tree in the open stand and pump the foot pedal until the claws have firm contact to the trunk, and you're ready to start decorating!

Though this is rare, it does happen—according to the National Fire Protection Association, between 2009 and 2013, Christmas trees were the source of an average of 210 home fires each year.inch diameter trunk, some other stands’ screws could barely extend far enough to meet the trunk (and they wouldn’t work with a tree any smaller than that). When decorated with those fragile baubles and sentimental hanging decorations, the last thing you want is your magnificent Norway Spruce tipping over. The Krinner grips the tree trunk with five claws that you tighten by stepping on a ratcheting foot pedal, instead of turning a set of bolts into the bottom of the tree trunk, like nearly every other tree stand. There are a whole host of fashionable stands in metal or wood and stunning designer Scandi-style stands that look like a decoration all of their own. Last, this stand is quite large; if you’re planning on getting a smaller tree, you can step down to the Cinco C-148E.

Like so many others, the Steel Welded Large Tree Stand, the Santa’s Solution Christmas Tree Stand, and the Gardenised Green Plastic Tree Stand hold the tree with four bolts that must be threaded the entire way in, a tedious process at best. As we set up each tree with each stand (in the pouring rain), we noted how difficult it was to get the tree into the stand, position it, and fasten the tree inside. No matter how many metres of lights you wrap, or how many heavy glass trinkets you hang, your tree will remain standing tall. Most of these problems seem to be happening between seasons, so if you’re taking a used stand out of storage, fill it once on your driveway or sidewalk and watch for a leak before you set it up indoors. 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.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. We tested the Krinner on two trees: a 6-foot-8 tree, which we put up unassisted, and a bigger 8-foot-4 tree, which was easier with a second person. The Holiday Time Christmas Tree Stand is inexpensive but looks flimsy and also supports the tree with simple bolts. All of our Christmas Trees sold from our premises outside of Cirencester are grown within the UK to ensure the freshness and quality from our growers to your business or home.

We’ve put together an amazing range of gifts to help you make your presents stand out from the rest. It can handle a wide variety of tree sizes, has a large 2½-gallon water reservoir, and it’s sturdy—attempting to tip it over almost broke our test equipment. However, there is no overflow tray, a feature some other stands have that we’d like to have seen here. You could make the case that this narrow opening has advantages—pets will not be able to easily drink from it and gifts are less likely to fall into it. A unique design makes clamping a tree in the Krinner far easier than in any kind of stand we’ve found.The Tree Genie Steel is all metal and has tubular legs, and the wooden Kopenhagen has a sleek nordic design. 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. I tested the XXL, recommended for trees up to 18 pounds and 12 feet tall with a trunk diameter of up to 7 inches.
