The base is perfect for my umbrella and the table it sits under, however  the package it was delivered in looked like it had been dropped from a great height. It had been retaped and the sides were crushed with one side open. Inside, the styrofoam packed was crushed  and broken with small pellets of foam stuck to the base and a lot of foam making a mess when unpacked.  Fortunately no pieces were missing so I was able to assemble and use.  Wish I had taken a photo.
