Item is great. Bought a new tree and my Lenox crystal tree topper wouldn't fit. This item worked great. Only one problem it wouldn't fit the narrow opening on the topper. I used a piece of bamboo plant stake and added to topper and it fit perfectly. Just had to move the topper around to get it to stand up straight. Once in place it worked great. It also supported the weight of the topper (which is very heavy), and kept it upright.
