How big a tree can it hold?

The maker rates it for trees up to 10 ft. In practice it is most stable with a tree around 7 to 9 ft, since the plastic body flexes more under a tall, heavy tree.

How much water does it hold?

About 0.75 gallons. A large live tree can drink that in a day or two, so check and refill often.

Does it fit a thick trunk?

The five eye bolts adjust inward, so it takes trunks up to roughly 5 inches across. A thicker trunk will not seat properly.

Is it stable enough without a separate base?

The steel spike base plate grips the trunk and the wide 21.85-inch footprint spreads the load. Seat the spike firmly and tighten all five bolts before adding water.

How is it different from a cast-iron stand?

It is much lighter and easier to store, but the plastic body and small reservoir are the trade-offs. Cast-iron stands hold more water and resist tipping better with a big tree.

Our take on the Jack Post 8 Ft. Live Christmas Tree Stand 36708

The Jack-Post 36708 is a plastic live-tree stand with a steel spike base plate and a spill-catcher rim. It holds trees up to 10 ft and carries about 0.75 gallons of water, with five eye bolts to square the trunk. That water capacity is modest for a large tree, so expect to refill often; steel stands with bigger reservoirs hold more. It suits households with a tree around 7 to 9 ft that want a simple, lightweight stand.
