I was very excited to try this product based on the idea of storing the Christmas tree easily and the reviews I read and the videos I watched. I will have to defer until after Christmas on how well storage works. However, I can say that the bags are thick and the stand is sturdy. A few things I think could have been of higher quality to make it MUCH easier to manage are the wheel locks (they are too small to easily reach and manipulate once the tree is up), the cinch strings (the cincher doesn't work very well and I had to "fight" with it multiple times; this is a very important part of the whole concept of keeping the bag cinched around the tree base), and the stand itself doesn't hold the tree straight while you tighten in the screws (this makes it require 2 people, and still my tree is a little tilted).
