The Krinner Small Tree Genie Deluxe is the tree stand that will keep your tree fresh and looking great! The ratchet mechanism opens step-by-step so that your tree won't fall over, and when your tree has reached the right water level it'll be sure to show you. Guaranteed equal claw pressure around the trunk whether the trunk is thick, thin or crooked. No assembly required - no screws to tighten. Just place your tree in the opened stand on the spike, hold it straight and pump the foot pedal until the claws firmly hold the trunk. Your tree will be up and ready to decorate in just seconds!
