Review on 🎄 BUFFALO BATT & FELT Cinco Plastics INC C-144E Large Christmas Tree Stand with Enhanced SEO by Kip Ruach

All plastic tree stands designed for natural (ie irrigated) trees have the following problem: to allow natural wood to remain upright as it gains weight from water Absorption and decoration, two structural conditions are necessary in the design of the stand: 1) strong screw clamps or bolts 2) a way of absolutely preventing the base of the stump from moving in any direction. We have replaced our old reliable cast iron base with this model. Unfortunately, the small nails on the underside of the stand bent and the fully decorated tree fell, shattering much of the antique glass decoration. Plus all the water that spilled on the wooden floor. Cast iron trivets are better in every way except they don't hold enough water (a slight inconvenience compared to water on the floor) and they all require the following modification: a 3/8-inch drill bit on the bottom of the trivet. Insert into this 2" x 3/8 bolt hole so the end of the threads protrudes through the bottom of the stand, add a washer and nut and tighten securely. Apply a liberal amount of silicone sealant around the nut and washer to prevent leakage. To prepare the tree, drill a 1/2" hole through the center of the bottom of the stump. When you place the tree in the stand, the hole in the stump falls on the stud in the stand. Now that the top screws are tightened the tree can't fall into the stand. And the stand is heavy enough to hold any tree up to 8 ft. As far as I can see from the Revain photos, you can't do this bolt trick with any of the plastic coasters make. The stud will either bend or snap out of the bottom. And if you try to drive the studs into the barrel, the bottom of the coaster will snap. Poor design all around.
