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

Product Information

The Cinco has a big, 3-gallon reservoir and an added overflow basin to catch drips (which the Krinner lacks). The Krinner has a unique fastening mechanism that’s far simpler and easier to use than that of any other tree stand we found. The following list includes only a small fraction of the tree stands we’ve considered over the years. We then filled the stand’s reservoir with 1½ gallons of water (or the stand’s maximum, if it was less than this amount), and noted how difficult it was to fill, and how likely it was to overflow or spill onto your floor. No matter how many metres of lights you wrap, or how many heavy glass trinkets you hang, your tree will remain standing tall.

When the holiday season is finished, wash the interior of the basin with mild detergent and dry completely before putting in storage. However, I’ve been checking the water level by hand as well, and the indicator on mine has been reliable. Operating one of these Christmas tree stands is simple, simply place your tree within the base and use the foot pump or screws to tighten the base around it.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. The continuous cable guide of the single cable operation guarantees the equal claw pressure around the trunk. The downside is that the tree is secured by four cumbersome hand-twisted bolts, but they do have a quick-release—this speeds up the process considerably and sets this stand apart from the many other similar designs.

You will be pleasantly surprised to find that all of our Christmas tree holders have water reservoirs built in.

To create stability, the stand needs a heavy base to lower the tree’s center of gravity and keep it balanced. 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.Argos Limited is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority as a credit broker (713206), and works exclusively with the lender, Home Retail Group Card Services Limited trading as Argos Card and Argos Financial Services, who are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority to provide credit (716148). 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. We purchased the Krinner Christmas Tree Genie so our expert reviewer could put it to the test at her home.

To test the stability of the stands, we used twine and a force gauge to pull on the trees until they tipped over. Comparing the Cinco with our pick, David Perpich actually finds the Cinco’s bolt-tightening work to be a benefit, as he likes to have a lot of control when positioning the tree. 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.The gauge that tells you how much water is in the stand also has a very clear “Stop” indicator that shows when you’ve filled it enough. All these potted Christmas tree varieties are average or low shedding, meaning they’ll retain their waxy soft needles throughout the season. 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. Steve was especially impressed with the easy setup, saying, “I’ve never been able to set up a Christmas tree by myself.
