All About Christmas Exclusive Christmas Tree Stand Suitable for both Real Christmas Trees & Artificial Christmas Trees - Tree Stand Including 5 Litre water Reservoir for Real Trees - White

Well packaged, quickly dispatched item; I purchased the white version. The central tree holder/water reservoir is really heavy duty as are the screws which hold the tree in place. The sides are made of an opaque twin wall perspex material covered by protective film, hence the 'fragile' in my review title. Having said that I took care slotting the pieces together and feel once the parts are slotted together as per the very clear instructions it makes for a really sturdy tree base. Far sturdier than the one which came with my Balsam Hill tree. I like the plug hole to keep the wires streamlined and there looks to be space for a small extension lead inside to keep it out of reach from marauding pets. It is worth noting the manufacturers do not advise disassembling once built but it is small enough to fit through the average loft hatch so I don't see that being a problem.

Easy to put together, fun and effective. This looks great and is far less fussy than a tree skirt. I won't be taking mine apart for storage and so long as its cared for I expect it to last years. Follow the instructions, they're very easy, and it slots together with no effort, no husband required. My tree now looks like a music box, excellent. I will agree this is a little expensive though and I certainly wouldn't pay full price, but tree stands which look nice are expensive, and this one looks fantastic.

My tree sits quite low to the ground, so can't get many presents under it. With a growing family (2 kids, another on the way) I was looking into way to rise the tree higher off the floor.I found this stand on amazon and initially moved on as I thought it was quite expensive, but not being able to find anything else suitable I bit the bullet and made the purchase.Install thought out the packaging was that the plastic felt cheap and flimsy, although it looks good.I struggled a bit putting it together, I couldnt get the corners to line up correctly, but after a while of trying multiple different combinations I got it to work so I put this down to my own faults.One put together I moved my tree from its old stand into this and instantly loved the outcome.I got the white stand and find the light from the tree reflect off it, giving a nice addition to the atmosphere too.

looks a bit flimsy before you put the box together, but once done and Christmas tree in place it is surprisingly sturdy and looks good

Firstly, I would give 10 out of 10 for Customer Service, I could not find some additional supports and wrote to the Company. I had an immediate response telling me where I would find them in the main packaging ( I thought I had found everything in the box). Excellent Service. Secondly, I have always tried to disguise the base of my Christmas Tree whether artificial or real and this is the best thing I have found. It looks great without having to wrap up the base with material or crepe paper etc. I found putting it together relatively east but some people may have difficulty. I recommend getting all the pieces in front of you in the shape to be made, follow instructions carefully and go slowly. Once it is together it is not really practical to undo it so you will need to find storage room for a large box shape. I liked the fact that I could use it for artificial trees or for a real cut Christmas Trees as the reservoir can be filled with water to keep a real tree fresh for the Christmas period.

Nothing lines up, very difficult to put together, had to try and bend the plastic panels to get them to click together. Luckily it didn’t break using brute force.Looks nice but not tested it with a tree as yet.Seems quite sturdy, once you have wrestled with it you wouldn’t want to take it apart.

Stunningly beautiful and supportive tree stand.Very easy to put up, just slots together and easily supported an artificial 7ft pencil tree.The only downside is taking it apart can be difficult without damaging the plastic box connections, it didn't seem to pull apart without a couple fracturing no matter how gently done.I'll have to see whether it's as sturdy now next year.

Easy to put together just take a bit of care as once it's built it's pretty much built and you do risk breaking it taking it apart. Holds the tree well, sturdy, easy to use
