Worth every penny,
January 11, 2013
By: Allison
from Keswick, VA
"We've always had to "wire" our tree to the windows to make sure it didn't fall over. In our new house we wanted the tree in our foyer where we had no option to wire. I bought this stand and we put a 9 foot tree in it. The tree was installed easily in minutes and never moved for the whole month we had it up. LOVE THIS STAND!!"

BEST TREE STAND EVER!,
January 11, 2013
By: CatPO
from Richmond, VA
"We have been going to get a live tree for 32 years now! Every year same thing, frustrating trying to fit in tree stand and get it straight. Repeat and do all steps again, with a little fussing, until it is right. This year was such an ease - just put the tree in and push the pedal OMG soooo easy and perfectly straight. Plus holds A LOT of water. Best thing we purchased for the holidays. Liked it so much bought one for my daughter and son-in-law for next year. Plus Orvis shipped it so quickly! Thanks"

Excellent, Worth $$,
January 8, 2013
By: SquirrelyGirl
from Milton, GA
"We always have a fairly large, live trees and have found it difficult to find a stand to accommodate both tree girth and weight, plus one easy to lock once getting the tree straight vertically. This stand is so easy to use. It holds enough water for a large tree. It was very stable and sturdily made. I thought twice about the price but after receiving and using, this stand is well worth the investment."

"Best and easiest stand ever but after several years and the family having 3 of these stands, the trees in these stands turned brittle/dead where as trees cut at exactly the same time but in the old type stands and in the same house stayed fresh much much longer."

Recommend with reservations,
January 3, 2013
By: MRGEN61
from Boston, MA
"I like the German made quality of the product. It is very stable and heavy. The water reservoir is its best feature. It holds over 2 gallons of water and has a float meter to indicate when to add more water. I do not like the mechanism for holding the tree. One person cannot easily place the tree into the holder and level the tree. I prefer a mechanism that allows me to place a part of the base on the tree while it is prone and then attach to the base. My tree was an 8 footer. This base will handle up to a 12 footer but you will need several people to get the tree into the base and properly adjust the mechanism."

Saved My Sanity,
December 31, 2012
By: ajhudson
from Wisconsin
"Our 11.5 ft tree tumbled after it was completely decorated. It was in a tree stand that the tree farm highly recommended. Well, it didn't hold up and we needed a new stand. I ordered this stand from Orvis and couldn't be happier. It is well worth every penny. I look forward to next Christmas knowing I have confidence in the security of my tree. Thanks Orvis!"

German Engineering Marvel,
December 30, 2012
By: Sunshine60
from Wisconsin Rapids, WI
"What a great idea! This has been the easiest method to put the tree up, and in under 60 seconds. I purchased three tree stands in as many years; last year the tree fell twice due to tree stand failure! When the Orvis catalog arrived I decided to give in to yet another "best" invention purchase. This is a solid unit, high capacity water well, and just as easy to take down after the holidays."

"We thought we had the worlds best Christmas Tree stand until we purchased this one. It is so easy, and works fantastic. We normally had to tie our tree up to a beam on the ceiling just in case the stand didn't hold, but no need with this stand. We have an 11 foot tree, and it never waivered. I highly recommend this stand to everyone! It is worth every penny."

Best tree stand ever,

"This is the best tree stand I have ever used. It works as advertised - put tree in stand, pump on pedal and tree stands up straight with no more adjustments. Water indicator works well also. I just threw away old stands."

Possible Problem,
December 29, 2012
By: Swig
from Sacramento, CA
"We got the Christmas placed and decorated then watered. A few minutes after watering a leak was noticed around the bottom. We placed a piece of plastic under the tree since it would have been a problem to completely undecorate the tree. Check the unit for leaks before using. After Christmas we will return it."

Worth Every Penny!,
December 28, 2012
By: MightyMeese
from Northern VA
"This tree stand is fantastic! We always get our tree the day after Thanksgiving and don't take it down until Epiphany. There has been very little needling. Because of the large water reservoir, you never need to worry about the tree running dry
The best part -- putting up the tree up is virtually a one person job. So fast, so easy!
The only drawback would be the large size, so getting the tree skirt around it can be challenging. The peddle also detracts a little but we just put ours in the back, so it's not noticeable."

E-Z tree stand,
December 28, 2012
By: Frannyc76
from California
"My husband has struggled for years with various tree stands having to shim the bolts that hold the tree and sometimes having to put eyelets in the window sill to hold the trees. With this stand it is simply put it in the holder and release the holders and tighten with your foot. No problems. It was so easy and safe and we've had no problem at all."

Should have bought this sooner!,
December 28, 2012
By: Jenpburg
from Ohio
"I was skeptical to spend $129 for a Christmas tree stand, but this was so worth it. I literally took my husband 2 minutes to carry the tree in from outside, put in stand and I secured it with the foot pedal. So easy. No bolts to tighten or trying to straighten the tree. The stand is heavy, sturdy and very well made. I truly believe it will last for many Christmases to come. I have told many people about the stand and they couldn't believe how easy it is to use. Hopefully I sold a few for you. Thanks for selling this product and including the reviews. Without them, I would never would have made the purchase!"
