1.0 out of 5 stars Useless Plastic, December 1, 2009

It's Plastic so the crappy L shape screws can easily stip. My eight foot tree fell over spilling water and wrecking all the decorations . Like the other review I thought maybe I didn't line the tree up right but when you watch it the screws were actually falling out because the threads on the base are thin and PLASTIC. Also I did'nt overtighten . I guess this stand would be good for a very small tree . They should put some sort of anchors (aluminum, or stainless)

Although the 1.6 gallon water capacity is an improvement over similar stands, the area you pour the water into--this thing's most touted feature--is a joke. It is nearly flat, with only a small slope down into the stand. Unless you pour water extremely slowly, it splashes out and runs down the side all over the carpet or flooring beneath. Imagine pouring a jug of water onto a flat rock and you get the idea. I have completely given up even trying to use the water intake spout, and now just pour it from the other sides as you would with any other stand.

The stand has two rows of 4 screws to hold the tree, or 8 total. The ends that are to be twisted are "L" shaped, like an Allen wrench. They are difficult and sometimes impossible to twist into the stand without using a pair of pliers. There is a cheap plastic handle provided you can slide over the L, which offers very little additional comfort or leverage. And since there is only one of these, you have to keep removing it and moving it to other screws to evenly adjust it.

Not worth the additional cost over other large capacity stands. Save your money.

1.0 out of 5 stars Wouldn't even hold a 7' tree!, December 1, 2009

This review is from: H M S #208F-5 24" H2O XMAS Tree Stand

This stand claims to be rated for 10' trees, but I don't see how unless your tree is extremely straight and skinny. I have a 7' fat tree that has fallen over twice. The first time it fell I thought it was because I didn't balance the tree right or tighten the screws enough. After the second time it fell I realized that the plastic itself was flexing and allowing the tree to shift. This coupled with the fact that the base on this tree stand is way too narrow makes for a bad stand.

Do not buy this product if you have a fat tree (I posted a picture of my tree in customer images if you want to see my fat tree before it fell) unless, of course, you like cleaning up a mixture of tree dirt, water, broken ornaments, and cellophane icicles.
