Forged stands under the tree
For installation of artificial trees with a height of more than 2 meters, it is reasonable to use forged metal stands, which differ not only in their elegant appearance, but also in their high level of stability. This stand is able to withstand the weight of a large Christmas tree with all ornaments, without turning over and breaking.

Wooden stand under the tree
The easiest way to install a Christmas tree, though alive, though artificial was and remains a wooden stand-cross. It is made of several wooden planks together, and is ideal for fixing small trees. For large and heavy Christmas trees, it is better to purchase a hybrid stand, in which the wooden cross is heavier due to forged metal elements.
