Phat Tommy Heavy-duty Cast Iron Umbrella Stand

I have used this umbrella stand for several years on our deck in a high wind area. The umbrella (and table) do not budge, even if I forget to close the umbrella. It is very heavy and the low profile design means your feet are not bumping a bulky stand under the table.

I would not recommend this item, I've had it for over 3 weeks with damaged parts and have been trying to have the parts replaced for this long. I've gotten a run around regarding this, I keep having to call back and call back. Not a good idea.

We get high winds when the tide is coming in and have had some broken umbrellas as a result. This base is so heavy that we could barely get it through the house to our patio! We uses a cart on wheels. Now in place under our patron dining table it is great!
