When my husband came home, I literally stood next to the tree and said, Ta-da!
I got this new one-person-setup stand after a tree emergency: The old stand cracked.

But itwasntfine when it started leaking water all over the floor.
I jammed my tree into a ceramic planter for the time being and ordered anew standthat night.

“Are yousureyoure not pushing it?).
A little red button on the foot pump keeps you from accidentally bumping the pedal and releasing the tree.
(you’ve got the option to also padlock it for extra security.)

The tree was in the stand and locked in place within a minute.
It only took another minute.
I cant overemphasize how accomplished I felt.

Even to fill the water reservoir, you don’t have to get on the ground.
I did it standing with the help of a largewatering can.
But I’d bought a $25 tree stand beforeand I got what I’d paid for.
My only regret is that I didn’t buy the tree genie sooner.
Getting a good tree stand has been an investment in making the holidays easier and less stressful.
