Krinner Genie Christmas Stand Green Review

This frame is leaking. After we put the Christmas tree in, everything was decorated, we found that it was leaking. We put a wooden sack underneath, as well as a large sack for the contractor to catch all the water. We had to remove the decor from the tree, grab a plastic container to put a stand/tree in and fix it. I would pour water first.

This product is amazing. We have used a screw in the base for our tree for decades. Each year putting up a tree in the pedestal was a real celebration between me and my wife. Who held the tree crooked, who didn't hold the tree long enough, who didn't tighten the screws, etc. Our children ran to their rooms to fight back. Finally, last year our screw stand broke, so this year I wanted to end the tree stand nightmare. I brought the Krinner stand after reading the reviews on Revain. So it started…

Was it expensive compared to the rebar base that comes with the live tree? Em yes! But when they sawed the tree at a slight angle and it leaned noticeably, I realized we needed a real base. I had done enough homework to know what to buy and knew that walking across town looking for the right base would be a waste of time. I've seen enough fallen trees, broken and scattered decorations, and the stress and controversy that comes with trying to get it upright and stable again in my lifetime…

Let's face it, this tree stand is made for people who love Christmas. They love it so much that they want to enjoy every minute of it instead of ruining it with the stress, struggles, broken decorations, broken dreams, and broken relationships that come with putting an actual Christmas tree on one of those pathetic screw stands just sucks . For the past four years, we've raised our 10-12 foot trees straight and safely in less than TWO MINUTES every time with the German designed and built Genie…

Read other reviews for key details. This easily holds my 10 foot tall, 125 pound Home Depot tree where previous stands wouldn't even come close to holding (for example this one is terrible after 5 foot trees: St Nicks Choice Pivot Point Tree Stand). Two criticisms that I don't clearly see elsewhere are the main reason for this review: 1) Bring your own latch or locking knob. As mentioned, there is a small plastic slider on the handle (which also doubles as a strain relief) that allows you to…

This is by far one of the best tree stands I have ever owned. Raise my tree in seconds. I did a lot of research after reading many reviews. Complaint number one is water leakage. I can say it holds a full gallon of water. I've noticed that some people have broken the stand by pulling out the clips. I think it's because they put all their weight on the same pedal. I tighten it all the way without putting all my weight on the pedal. You don't have to use all your weight to tighten this stand…

Every year we buy a real tree 5 to 6 feet tall. We haul this freshly killed tree back to our house and fight for the stock for over 30 minutes. 3 years in a row. It makes me crazy. It's because of those stupid trees. I hold the tree straight. I HOLD THE TREE STRAIGHT! YES, DIRECT! By tightening those 1/4-20 screws into the trunk of the tree, driving it into its soft round body and dropping the base. Screws, a few years old, not long enough. I bought a different base thinking it would fit trees…
