Just what I was looking for-- I wanted an umbrella stand to showcase my vintage tennis rackets. Since the rackets are shorter than umbrellas, this smaller umbrella holder was perfect for them. It's a great ceramic/heavy base, love the look and could go well with a variety of decor styles. If you are trying to fit tall full length umbrellas, I'd make sure to measure them against the height of this stand to ensure you'll like the way it looks. Was great for me!
