I love that I can fill this with water from the kitchen sink!  I needed it on the deck, and the hose and spigot is downstairs.  Having the screw cap to close the reservoir makes this possible, and the handle made it possible for me to carry it outside even though it was full of water!  I’m glad it seals in the water.  We have another stand similar to this one, but it doesn’t seal allowing the water to evaporate.  We have to put sand in that one.
Putting this one together was a little tricky at first.  There were no instructions in the box, but I saw that there was a threaded screw in the bottom of the base and a hole in the bottom of the detached pole—pretty self-explanatory.  It took several tries to get them to line up in the bottom of the base, but I finally got it.  Right not it’s holding a 10 ft. umbrella and seems pretty sturdy.  We’ll see how it does if there’s a breeze!
