These are the best Christmas tree stands to buy now
A Christmas tree stand may not be the most exciting purchase for the festive period, but ensuring your precious spruce is safe and securely in place is of the utmost importance — and the best stands will not just stop it from toppling over but look good too.
There are plenty of styles available to suit every budget and taste — from elegant, gold showstoppers and Nordic-inspired wooden options, to more functional designs with water reservoirs to keep your spruce hydrated and healthy.
Of course, it isn’t just real trees that can benefit from a tree stand. Most artificial trees come with integrated plastic stands, but they aren’t always the most stylish; investing in your own allows you more control over the final look.
Before you buy, always measure the height of your tree and the trunk’s width to check the stand is compatible. Depending on the size of your spruce, you may also need help from a loved one lifting the tree into the stand, so consider this before setting it up.
Below, we’ve picked out a variety of Christmas tree stands — and outlined all the important bits, including size capacity, for ease.
