April 10, 2009, Newsletter Issue #104: Comparing Christmas Tree Stands

Tip of the Week

You need a new Christmas tree stand. This is one time when you won't have to worry about making a decision. After all, Christmas tree
stands are all kind of ugly and the only choice is whether to go with metal or plastic, right? Actually, you can find these stands in a wide range of styles, from elaborate decorative models to simple plain options.

Of course, if you will be using a tree skirt, you may just want to buy an ordinary tree stand. There's certainly nothing wrong with these functional, sturdy stands and it makes sense to go with a basic stand if you're just planning to cover it up. Make sure that you shop for a stand that has some weight to it so it can support a fully decorated tree without tipping. A steel tree stand is ideal.

If you have a full sized tree that you have tucked into a corner of the room, you probably have experienced the frustration of trying to decorate and admire all sides of the tree. For people in this situation, there is a simple solution - a revolving tree stand. The tree slowly turns completely around, allowing you and your guests to admire every inch of your hard work.
