National Tree Folding Rolling FTS 28R 1 Review

A few years ago I flocked my Christmas tree, so I don't like to disassemble it and stuff it in a box. That's why I wrap my tree in cloth after use and put it upright in the garage. Now on wheels I can move around when needed. Very happy. The only thing that worries me is that the base could collapse because it can be stored flat, but so far that's not a problem.

Make sure you have the correct tree trunk diameter for this post. If the pole is too narrow, it will slide straight onto the floor and scratch the tiles. If your tree is the right size, this stand will be stable and easy to move. It's a bit big so you need a big skirt to hide it.

I was looking for a foldable tree stand on wheels. What I didn't expect is that after setting it up and using it, I can't fold it up again. Also, it was expected that there would be at least 3 screws to attach the tree and there was only one in the kit. Not sure what the description was on this one but I was expecting better grip and control over the tree. Disappointed but had to use it. I stuck with it.

We bought a new tree two years ago when our local KMart went broke. I could get a $200 tree for $40. Of course, this year the box exploded and had to be thrown away. We surfed Revain and found this. It is great! Our tree rotates, so if we want it to rotate we have to use the original base for it, but for transport and storage along with the bag I bought it's amazing!

I make a living from having this stand on wheels. Makes moving my Christmas tree very easy. What I rated badly is stability and ease of use. There is no way to lock the kickstand in the open position. This makes it impossible for a single person to insert a tree. It actually took three uses and it was still difficult. Since it won't block then, you have to be careful when rolling it on different surfaces.

The frame itself (the part that holds the Christmas tree) is very strong. However, the rollers they used to transport it from storage to use are very poor. The wheels are very small and don't move well on carpet. The biggest problem, however, is that the ball bearings jam. Only one of the four wheels rotates as it should as you push the tree across the ground on this stand. Great idea, not great wheels.

As this was one of the only metal tree stands with wheels I figured it would hold my 7 foot tree securely. Unfortunately, the hole for the thumbscrew that holds the tree didn't line up with the hole in the inner sleeve, making it impossible to tighten the tree trunk in the stand. It was advertised as being foldable for storage, but the advertisement failed to mention that it was not possible to keep the legs vertical when moving the artificial tree. My Christmas tree is lying on the ground with

I actually ordered this at the beginning of the year just after last Christmas, but was only able to try it out a few days ago. I was a bit skeptical because all the reviews said they can't get the stand to stay open when trying to roll it with wood on it. The problem they must have is that you have to make sure the hole in the inner stem bushing lines up with the set screw so the screw can go through and be tightened to the tree post. If you do this, the stand cannot be folded when you roll…
