The Original Stand-Strait Tree Stands

In the 1960s, Sheerlund’s STAND-STRAIT Christmas tree stand caused a revolution in the Christmas tree industry. First marketed by Robert Sullivan, father of Sheerlund’s present owners, the STAND-STRAIT stand allows you to set up your tree in seconds, with none of the traditional trauma associated with getting the tree to stand up straight.

Each stand possesses a finger-sized vertical tapered pin in its center, and each tree sold at Sheerlund is drilled with a special vertical hole that fits the pin exactly. So when you get your tree home, all you need to do is place the tree securely on the pin. Because the hole has been drilled vertically — regardless of how crooked the trunk might be — the tree immediately stands straight, with no further adjustments needed.

It’s a real marriage-saver!
