My complaints are two. I came without the screw to hold the umbrella in so luckily another umbrella stand had one that fit so now the other stand just has one screw and not two. Umbrella stands should have two screws and most do. This one only has one which means you cannot make the umbrella steady. For the money, this is a dumb error on their part. It is super heavy though. Being so heavy it's not something easy to return or I would have. Order another stand. Yes, this one gives you color choices for the base and if tha'ts important, than this one is acceptable but not my first choice anymore. Oh, if you do not cut your umbrella pole down like I had to and you put your umbrella all the way down into the stand, it will be more steady than mine so part of the wobble complaint I mentioned is my fault, not the stand's fault. But I've had to cut down every umbrella I've ever gotten so if I have had to do that, you might also
The international caravan textured resin sunflower umbrella base is definitely a must have! It is heavy and will withstand high winds without ripping over. It is gorgeous, highly recommend!
This umbrella base is wonderful, it's heavy enough (over 50 pounds!) to withstand substantial breezes, wind gusts even, and it's tall enough to hold my umbrella securely in place. I had previously bought a wrought iron umbrella base locally, it weighed about 13 pounds and didn't hold my umbrella up at all. Not only was it too light, but it was too short, so the umbrella blew over at the slightest breath of breeze. I would definitely recommend the resin sunflower umbrella base.
This is a great umbrella base. It is heavy, solid, well-made, lovely pattern, the resin will make it so much more durable than metal or concrete. It holds a heavy umbrella in heavy winds without issue. I bought another it was so good.
This base is heavy. The UPS guy delivered it to my front door and it was an effort to carry it around back. Also an effort to wrestle it into exactly the right position under the table. But now that it's there, it looks nice, way better than the flimsy plastic fill-with-water type bases I see all the time. My umbrella hasn't moved an inch since I put it there. I got the dark brown color and it doesn't show any dirt or mildew. I'm just not looking forward to having to move it into the garage for the winter. It's heavy! Also, make sure before you buy this that it's big enough around to fit your umbrella pole. It should be, and it comes with some plastic fitters in case your umbrella pole is smaller, but it would be a shame to buy this and have to pay to ship it back.
We got this to use with an umbrella with a larger than average pole diameter. One thing you need to be aware of is that the tube is quite tall so if you are using it with a table with a lower umbrella guide, you may have to be creative. We placed some 2 x 4 blocks under the table legs and raised the whole table!! We actually like it better now that it is higher. The measurement from the bottom of the umbrella stand to the top of the tube is approximately 14 1/2". If you use the adapters, add about another 1/4". We have had quite a few severe "pop up without warning" storms and the umbrella and stand haven't budged an inch. A great improvement over our last stand that would blow over along with the umbrella and table.
I wanted a heavy stand and this is it. I was so disappointed when I opened it and saw the color. I ordered the yellow and it was not even close. It could almost pass as a rust color. I thought maybe they packaged the wrong one! If I had known that, I would have ordered the standard black. I'm keeping it because I didn't want to have to deal with the return of that heavy thing....but no one will know except for me that it's not the yellow I ordered!
Ordering online and reading other reviews, is hard and you are not always sure what you may get. But I was really happy with this purchase. Where we live in IOWA I havce nothing to protect my patio so this base in my opinion was a very good buy. And something else that many people had pointed out when purchasing a base was how many had to send back their base because it could not accomadate the umbrella pole diameter. This had different size adapters that I could take out to fit whatever size diameter pole I have, very nice.
Great heavy base, has worked great. It comes with an insert so if your umbrella pole is thin, it will work well. The umbrella I bought is a tight squeeze into the base/holder, but otherwise works well. Worth the money.
We purchased this umbrella base to put on our pool deck to protect the little ones from the sun. The previous umbrella base had left some unsightly rust stains and we're positive this won't happen with the resin one. I was worried about the terra cotta color being too orange and bright but after unpacking it I breathed a sigh of relief. IT IS BEAUTIFUL!!! Just the right amount of color. We're very pleased with this purchase!
I ordered this base along with an Great Offer Stock patio umbrella to sit next to my lounge chair on a little patio where I read. The base is very attractive and sturdy. The only problem is that the "tube" that goes into the base (in which you put the umbrella pole) is a tad wobbly so my umbrella leans just slightly. Hopefully the play in that tube won't cause wear & tear to either the tube or the umbrella pole. Am I missing some adjustment that can be made to hold the base tube straight??
The only reason I would not recommend this or any heavy product is the items are not protected in a shipping box. The base is Great, BUT it was delivered in the original product box only. There was no shipping box to protect this heavy product from destroying the box and item in transit. The base was just slightly damaged and two small parts were missing. I was able to rig something to by-pass the missing parts. I love Great Offer Stock but will not buy anything heavy.
I bought this to hold down a patio umbrella in the foothills, where winds gust up to 60 mph from time to time. There are three size adjusters, so it fits the pole tightly. Here's what I learned after five days: if air gets under the umbrella, it will tend to fly. So, I plan to tie the umbrella shut so it won't balloon out in the wind. I think that will do the trick. This really is a fine, heavy stand. Even in the big gust of wind, the worst that happened was that the umbrella laid down, turning the stand on end, and began rolling around the patio, billowing with each gust of wind.
I was very happy with this product. The color was pretty close to what I was expecting. I was also very pleased with the quality. Good consistent finish, the surface is a good texture, and I'm happy with the rubber / plastic edging around the base. It arrived in perfect condition, and I really like that the support tube is configured for various pole thicknesses. And it was easy to assemble. (I would assemble near where its intended to be used).
I was really looking forward to the delivery of the umbrella stand. The description is "resin" and the color I picked was white. I was so disappointed when I opened the package and the product was actually the color and texture of brown beach sand. It looks and feels like someone went to the beach and took a mold to make a casting. Chunks of sand had also cracked off of the bottom during shipping. DO NOT buy this product if you want the base to be white.
This is the base I was looking for because it easily supports my large outdoor umbrella. I have two large umbrellas both supported with the two new large bases that I purchased. These resin bases are heavy and are able to support the weight with tipping. I suggest that you consider this item to add to your outdoor decor.
Bought this umbrella base over 2 years ago! Still using it and are on our 4th umbrella! The base has held up MUCH better than the umbrellas we've bought. :) We purchased a black base so it would be "neutral" and go with any color umbrella. It is very heavy and has faded a little over the years. Wish we could find an umbrella worthy of this base! I compared a LOT of prices for these bases and this is a VERY good deal.
Very durable. They didn't have the color I would prefer ( light brown) so I got black to match the 11' umbrella I purchased from Great Offer Stock. Looks great. Very heavy, and I hope it will hold umbrella up in our notorious Santa Ana winds ! In fact, don't lift it or hurt your back, roll it on end to where you want it ! Took about 10+ days to arrive.
Friends of ours have two of your umbrellas and were very happy with them. We needed to purchase an umbrella and stand for our patio. I was impressed with our friends umbrella, so I decided to order both an umbrella and stand from you. I am very happy that I did.
Umbrella base arrived in tattered, partly opened, carton. Some pieces were missing which Great Offer Stock sent upon notification. Umbrella base was unharmed. Once parts were received, we were able to set up the umbrella in the table with no problems. This base is nice looking, heavyweight, and sturdy. Chocolate color as shown on site. It is definitely a good buy!
