Very easy to set up. When filled up with water it definitely does the job of keeping the umbrella in position. It's made of very resistant plastic so it should last a very time without rusting like a metal base might after a while.

It works. I wish it was a bit heavier. After filling with water it holds the umbrella up, but could be a bit sturdier.

We drilled a hole in the middle of our picnic table for extra support for our umbrella. This base gave it the stability we needed. We haven’t tried it free standing

Way better than the light weight metal ones!

Very sturdy, easy to add sand and looks really nice.
