The best Christmas tree stands that are both pretty and practical

This star-shaped red and green Christmas tree stand is as festive as they come. Suitable for spruces up to 6.5 feet high, it features tough metal brackets to ensure your tree doesn’t topple over mid-celebration.

This Scandi-inspired design is much too stylish to hide behind a Christmas tree skirt. It features a crossed based to ensure stability.

Inspired by the simplicity of Scandi design, three pieces of metal slot together here to form a solid base for your Christmas tree. It’s made from powder-coated steel to protect against rust, scratches and dents, and there’s no assembly required.

We particularly like the festive green colourway, but it's also available in bright red or silver.

This rolling stand allows you to easily move your tree around the room — handy if you’re feeling indecisive about your setup.

It’s foldable for easy storage, the lockable wheels will keep it securely in place and the retractable legs can be adjusted to your desired width.

It isn't limited to winter either; use it in the summer to prop up garden parasols. It's also available in black.

This extra-large stand is suitable for trees up to nine feet in height, making it a great pick for stellar displays.

It has a clamping mechanism to provide equal pressure around the trunk and a handy bell system that alerts you when the tree is properly secured.

This stand may not look the prettiest but if you want something that feels extra secure, this is the option for you. It's made from durable plastic so should last for years to come and has four metal bolts to fasten your tree firmly into place.

The water tank holds up to half a gallon of water too, ensuring your tree stays hydrated throughout December.
