UBP18181-BR 18-Inch Cast Stone Umbrella Base, Made from Rust Free Composite Materials, Bronze Powder Coated Finish

I just set this up a couple days ago. We had a bit of an unexpected storm last night and the (open) umbrella itself blew off its pole into the neighbor's yard, but the base stayed put. It did loosen up a bit, but I didn't find my pliers to tighten the nut enough, so I expected that to happen sooner or later. Gotta find those pliers. And I guess I'd better duct tape the pole of the umbrella itself, which was purchased elsewhere. :)What I like so far:- I like the design. It should be easy to clean, and it looks good.- It's heavy enough to not blow away in wind gusts. Major test passed.- It seems like it should hold well without wobbling once I tighten it with pliers. The stabilizing pole is a good height and has adapters to fit different diameters of poles.- Good price point. Some of the bases I saw were triple the price of this one.Obviously I can't speak to its durability yet. But I anticipate at least a few years of use from this.

This stand was tall enough and heavy enough, to hold my 9' Umbrella steady without having to worry about wind blowing it over. I Highly recommend it. I thought, very attractive as well.

Purchased to go with a new outdoor umbrella. We were able to place the stand under a table that had a space for the umbrella. I have seen other stands that aren't very pretty or appealing and are just cheaply made, but this stand is durable and goes very nicely with our patio and table/umbrella set. It's very sturdy.

Good quality, but works best through a picnic table. Standing alone, a strong wind will tip a top-heavy umbrella over.

Sturdy base.Easy to useNothing difficultAdvise to buy it

Love it, great for the money. Heave and well made.

Looks greatNice and heavy - works well in windy conditionsMultiple hole diameters made it easy to fit our umbrella pole

I have bought 2 of these. They are very nice looking, however they are not heavy and flip over easily with an umbrella attached. I had to put extra weight around them so that they don’t blow over every time the wind blows. On one of them I can see some cracking already, I’m not sure if it’s from it being blown over or from the umbrella moving in the wind. You can’t really get a good tight grip on the umbrella shaft with the one small screw on the bottom side and the screw is starting to rust after 1 month. I think it would be a better product if it was heavier and for the price I definitely wouldn’t recommend it, unless you’re using it in a no wind zone.
