I love this stand. Perfect weight and size for market umbrella. I is great for a seating area of 2-4 chairs. I like the higher tube that the umbrella gots into, giving it more stability. .

So far the base seems great quality!

This 50lb umbrella base is too light to hold the umbrella. I have been chasing my (3) umbrellas allover the patio.

Not sturdy enough to hold an umbrella without a table over it to help with support

These heavy duty stands are great. I have several homes in high wind areas where you need very sturdy umbrella bases. These were actually taken down to my Mexico home and have held up great for the past several years. Thanks!
