My eyes are drawn to this well made, beautiful umbrella stand which I am using to hold my walking sticks in!  The colors of this umbrella Stand are beautiful and were well represented.  I have looked literally for years to find just the right stand and I am so very happy with this one.  Someone commented that this stand was not sturdy enough and I disagree.  I have tried several other stands before this and have either given them away or donated them.  May I suggest that if your umbrellas are heavier than my walking sticks to place a few rocks in the bottom.  Bravo and thank you for a quality made item that my family will enjoy for years and one day it will be a family heirloom.  Terry
