We've always had a big ass tree...we've got 9' ceilings, and Hubs always has to trim the top so that my tree topper will fit on. I do have a heavy-duty cast iron tree stand, and it's always been up to the challenge of the big ass tree. But this year, I chose the teensiest tree we've ever had. It's only 7' tall, and skinny enough to be the Next Top Model. And we had more trouble getting it to stand up straight than we've had with a big ass tree. (and guess who decided, once it was up and decorated, that she HATED the tree where Hubs had convinced her to put it, and moved it by herself, decorations and all, once said husband had left for work?)

We put it up in our new cast tree stand made for BAT's. Filled said BAT stand with water. Big hole in BAT heavy-duty-will-withstand-anything tree stand. Water all over floor. None in stand. Return BAT stand. Got BAT heavy duty plastic stand. Perfect. All is well. We also have a BAT with our 9′ ceilings. We put it up in our new cast tree stand made for BAT’s.

Here's my advice (which we got from the tree man--having had big ass trees fall over like we lived in a logging camp at our house)--screw your tree stand to 2 8X2 boards--the extended square base will keep the heaviest tree upright--ours is 14 feet this year and sturdy as if it were planted in the ground. I'll send you a photo. Anyway, I feel your pain having had all our good glass ornaments break and one toddler suffer the tree LANDING ON HIM. Oh no.
