Protects from metal stand and easy to fill with spout on top! Much better than sand bags.

Quality base. Quick shipping & excellent customer service.

Easily put together by grandson and son-in-law, then weighted with sand and water to provide a stable base.

We’re so excited to set up our new poolside umbrella using this base. Originally we purchased a base at the time we bought our umbrella but although it was rated for 190 pounds that was only if I filled it with a mixture of sand water. THIS BASE is a much better option we’re only using water which will make it easier to put up this year when the weather changes. We plan to drain the water store both the umbrella this base without creating a terrible mess of wet sand… that’d just be tracked into our home! Thanks Wayfair!

Did t come with cross brace although it shows in pictures. Both umbrella and base show the cross brace and neither one had it so both are useless To me at this point
