Support it. Cover it. Make it yours.

MEASURE ONCE. CHOOSE WELL.

Find your fit.

Three measurements now can save a return later. Start with the stand you already have.

Measure the fully opened stand, including any projecting controls. A collar is decorative; it does not support the tree. For a rectangular or unknown footprint, the calculator uses the diagonal to allow for the corners. Internal taper and access still need checking.
