You can pick any tree with this Amazing Treestand

Have you ever had trouble trying to find that perfect tree at Christmas time, and when you do only to find-out that it has a crooked trunk and the tree won't stand up straight? Well, with this stand all of that worry is eliminated. You basically just slip the trunk holder on the trunk and adjust the little knobs and once you have secured this in place, all you have to do is set it in the base and the put your foot on the lever and click it into place and admire your handy work.

This swiveling tree stand is made by St. Nicks Choice and is sold at most home improvement stores. Such as Home Depot, Lowe's, Menard's and even Ace Hardware. This will cost you a little more than fifty dollars unless you can find it on sale. But, this stand is well worth the investment. I have had this for several years and it is virtually indestructible. This stand is the traditional green in color and is made up of a very thick heavy duty plastic. You will never have to worry about this stand rusting out. This will hold about a gallon of water but once you attached it, all you have to do is set it and forget it.

Before you start you will still have to trim the excess branches off of the trunk to allow the trunk receptacle to fit on the base of the tree trunk (approx. 3" to 4" diameter tree trunk). If you get creative you can probably fit a larger trunk but you will probably have to do more trimming. You may also have to taper the bottom edge of the trunk a little to get it to sit properly. There are three tightening bolts that you will have to secure to the trunk. Once you have tightened these then there is a sliding ring that you can turn to make it more secure. This receptacle that fits the trunk has large drain holes to allow the water to flow out when you lift the tree out when you are finished at the end of the holiday. This stand is a 2-piece stand which makes it easier to maneuver the tree into it when ready for use.

The base is quite large and will hold just about any size tree without letting it tip over. I have had as large as a 9-foot tree in this and have had no problems with it standing up straight. This stand does not weigh very much, and yet it does a sufficient job keeping the tree standing upright. This is very easy to manipulate, once you have the tree sitting in the base just grab a hold of the tree with one hand and place your foot on the lever (this lever will pull out and slide back into the base so it is unseen) and hold the lever and then listen for a click and let go of the tree and stand back admire your work.

Once this is done, I would highly recommend sliding the tree and base into the proper spot, because this can get quite heavy and hard to move. This also prevents any spillage that might happen if you were to move it when it is full of water. This stand can be well hid by purchasing a large stand cover to hide the stand so no one can see it.
