TEKXYZ Telescoping Balloon Stand Set of 4, 1.5ft to 7ft Free Adjustable Metal Balloon Column Stand for Party Decorations

Easy to Assemble; Reusable; Sturdy
I bought this as decoration for my daughter’s birthday. I would absolutely purchase this again and here is why.Even with my arthritic hands I was able to inflate using a hand pump and assemble 2 almost 5-foot towers in 1.5 hours using 9- and 12-inch balloons. For me the hardest part was pumping the balloons and tying them off.I included a picture of the plastic ring you slide the balloons onto. There are five spaces outside the circle and five spaces inside the circle. This allowed me to try different patterns with different size balloons.The rings of balloons are placed on a telescoping rod that screws easily into the base panel. The pole is sturdy and the telescoping feature allows you to slide the tower up and down to any height between 1.5 feet and 7 feet. There is a screw on cap at the top of the pole that allows you to adjust how tightly compressed down the balloon rings are as well as you can attach topper balloons and/or decorations to the cap.What makes the tower stable and allows the hanging of banners between the towers is the sturdy water base bag included. My hands had a little trouble pushing the tab in to close the bag. Water gushed out as I was pushing in. As one product reviewer notes, a screw on cap would be better/easier. If that bag is not used, the base is not sturdy enough to allow banner/streamer hanging or for a tower to remain upright in a light breeze. I would not use this outside without a weight on the bottom plate. While the bag is sturdy and reusable, if it becomes punctured or the tab does not close the bag you could use bricks, flat stepping stones, lifting weights, gallon zip lock bags filled with water/sand, etc., to hold the tower.Came with a mostly pictorial instruction manual which had large easily seen and, I believe, easily understood pictures to follow.All components of this product are definitely reusable.Lesson Learned #1: If you are not building in place and are building a compressed design to the full height, I would suggest leaving about four inches at the top so you have room below to push the balloon filled rings up enough near the bottom to get your hand into your creation to lift and carry it. The telescoping pole is strong enough to be lifted/carried with the water bag in place. Building solidly to the top, it was hard for me to get my hand in to lift and carry it at completion.Lesson Learned #2: This hint may be obvious but I learned when sliding the balloon onto the ring, I used the fingers of one hand to pull the knot end to stretch and thin it down so the ring could quickly and easily slide along. If I did not do this I could still attach the balloons it just took my arthritic hands a little more work. Also, attach/slide between the very end of the balloon and the knot, not the knot towards the air-filled balloon. I did tear 3 balloons while attaching to the ring and the ones I attached between the knot and the air-filled balloon let the air out of the balloon; conversely, attaching between the end and the knot allowed the balloon to still be used if it tore. This is contrary to what the seller is currently showing in the pictures.I can also see how the rings can be used individually to create small balloon bouquets for table centerpiece/decoration. I can also see using long balloons for a shaggy tower. I can create various types and shapes of balloon trees with this product. There is a lot you can do with this sturdy reusable product!

Well-designed and easy to use — great for DIY balloon décor!
I was really impressed with how easy this balloon column was to assemble. I pre-built it at home and transported it to my event venue, and it held up beautifully—even without using the included water bag for weight. That said, if you’re setting up outdoors or in a high-traffic area where wind or movement could be a factor, I’d definitely recommend assembling on-site and filling the water bag to keep it stable. The quality and simplicity of the product made decorating a breeze. I’d absolutely purchase again!

MADE IT SO EASY
I was going to pay someone to make columns for my daughter’s party, then decided at the last minute to save money and DIY. These stands made it SO EASY. They have clips that hold the balloons in place and make it fast to add the balloons to the poles. My columns weren’t as fancy as the woman’s who I was going to hire to make them, but these still worked out great. The water bag weights were not great, though. We could not get the rubber plugs to close shut. Caps would have been better. You definitely need weight on these if they are going outside. Any slight breeze and they were coming down. We secured ours to a handrail since the water weights weren’t working, but ideally if you had weight plates for like lifting bar weights that would be perfect since you could slide the hole down the pole to the bottom and pile the balloons on top of it. Overall, it was worth the cost and looked great.

Balloon stands.
These were great. Could adjust to he exact height i needed. They stood straight. The base allowed me to fill bags with water for extra support. I would highly recommend.

Très facile à monter. Extensible a souhait jusqu’à plus de 2 mètres
