ABSTRACT:
A pedestal stand for supporting an object with a post, such as an artificial tree with a trunk, substantially upright on a support surface. The pedestal stand includes first and second planar leg members slidably interconnected to form a hub with a socket. Each leg member includes first and second opposite legs which extend radially from the hub and are adapted to rest on the support surface. A receptacle is adapted and shaped to snugly receive the post. The receptacle is slidably and concentrically nested in a substantially upright position within the socket and is readily removable from the socket. In another aspect of the invention, the disassembled pedestal stand and a collapsed artificial tree are enclosed in a package for shipping. The leg members lie in juxtaposition to each other in the package, and the ends of the trunk substantially abut the ends of the package. The receptacle is disposed on the butt end of the tree trunk preventing the butt end from rupturing the package.
