I bought this umbrella to replace a old rusty one.  The stand is very well made and fitting the umbrella was easy with the rings provided.  I have a green marketing umbrella and I chose the forest green umbrella stand..  It is a very attractive green and would look good in the grass or on the patio as I have it.  The green is a pleasing color, vibrant and bold.  The Roman numerals add a nice touch and it is truly a stand  that catches one's eye because of the color and the numerals.  It is pretty to look at as well as being functional.
