The umbrella stand appears to be vary sturdy. It’s definitely hefty! The box it was delivered in was all torn up, likely friction from being in a delivery truck. While the stand looks great, the directions and the assembly tools were missing. Which leaves me with a very expensive paperweight at the moment. 

I gave it four stars since I have to go through the resolution process. Thankfully I’ve had nothing but great experiences with Wayfair customer service. I have no doubts they will resolve this issue and I’ll be sitting under my umbrella in no time!
