This is a really nice and really heavy umbrella stand. The height is a bit taller than expected - the wheels add another inch or so to the height, but you can hide them under the stand. They have a nice lock on each wheel so it can remain in place. The lock on the top stand is easy to screw in and it's holding our umbrella nicely in place. We've had trouble with other stands not locking the umbrella strongly, and this one isn't letting it sway or move! It is quite heavy, so I am glad it came with the wheels or else I would not be able to carry it. I like that we can move it wherever or whenever we want.
