Accessories: Bowling Christmas Tree Stand
From Julie
We love the no-nonsense, American-industrial look of these heavyweight steel Christmas tree stands, handcrafted in Bear Lake, Michigan, by Floyd Bowling Jr. and Sr. since 1989. The T-bolts make securing the tree easy, and the tripod legs prevent wobbling on uneven floors. One happy customer wrote, "It belongs in the permanent collection at MoMA." Bowling's Last Stand offers three models: The 10XTS Model shown below supports a tree up to 10 feet tall and costs $180; the 12XTS supports trees up to 12 feet tall, and the 16XTC is for behomeths up to 16 feet tall.

It looks great! It doesn't seem to have much room for water though. I wonder if that is a problem?
you're kidding, right? $180? For a Christmas tree stand? Really? I mean, come on. I love great design and all, but this is ridiculous.
These look like somebody's cousin welded them up in a shop that builds truck bumpers. Thus, $180 seems a bargain since these things look destined to be heirlooms, for the heft alone.
