Round Umbrella Base

This product is exactly what it says it is.,Set up is quick and easy. Very sturdy. Great value for the money.

Oh boy this thing is heavy solid steel. I’m a strong guy but it was heavy to carry two handed. I actually found it easier to carry it in one arm like carrying a textbook in high school. The pole is also solid but manageable. Assembly is easy. Put the tapered screw looking thing into the pole bottom (with tapering towards bottom), then twist the pole into the square steel base. There is a round grommet to put on top of the pole, just push it in. Finally there are two hand twisting screws to tighten when your umbrella actually goes in. That’s all. I placed my base on concrete so I used a piece of rubber under it so I could have finger room to lift and push it to its proper place. When I got closer to the end I removed the rubber and I was able to push and maneuver the base in small increments on the concrete until I got it perfectly under the patio table. Works well with the 1-1/2” pole umbrella that I own.

Very heavy which is good - you may need help lifting it!So far it is very good in wind !

This base has been exactly what I expected. It is a very heavy and supports a 15 ft umbrella over my patio table. Holds well in windy conditions.

Horrible. Did not last two months. Asked for a return and Amazon will not issue it.

We recently got a 10’ rectangular umbrella and wanted something sturdy to hold it. It’s get windy here at the ocean. This stand has held up perfectly.The only down side is that it’s heavy and with a large umbrella it’s hard to move around. Find the spot for it and leave it. Works great!

The base is robust but there are serious quality issues. The bolt that secures the post socket to the base is too long and protrudes 1/4” through the bottom of the base. This results in the base plate being unable to stand flat on the concrete making it unstable and rotates like a top. The sand ballast bag stitching is extremely poor quality. 1” of one of the seams was not sewn at all allowing sand to leak and the restating strap buckle was only stitched to the bag for 3/8” which is about 15% of what it should have been. Needless to say, this just fell of as soon as any tension was applied.

If you use play sand it will take two .5 cubic feet bags of the sand to fill the weight bag. (I couldn't find that info in any of the reviews). Adds another 80 lbs of weight. Works very well to hold base down in windy conditions and doesn't look bad either. Best design I have seen for stands. The pipe thread into the base will prevent rusting and eventually stripping like other designs. Highly recommend.*Update one year later: I stored the sand bag with the sand in it in my garage for the winter. After being left outside in rain during the summer. I picked up the sand bag and it ripped right down the middle after just one summer/winter. I won't downgrade the rating because the stand is awesome but the bag they "threw in" is garbage.
