A tree stand substantially comprising at least three generally vertical upright members, at least as many supporting members as upright members and a continuous connecting member. Wherein said upright members are positioned such that the trunk of a tree may be slotted between and be supported by said upright members in a substantially upright position, each supporting member is rigid, is fixed at one end to one of the upright members such that there is at least one supporting member attached to each upright member, and extends generally radially outwards from its associated upright member in such a manner that its other end is level with or lower than the base of the upright member to which it is attached and when the stand is in use the stand rests on and is supported by the connecting member or radially outmost end portions of all the supporting members and said continuous connecting member joins all of said upright members and all of said supporting members in a reinforcing manner such that the stand is a single rigid object.
