Great table, perfect for next to patio club chairs or next to chaise lounge.  The table is not built with enough weight to securely hold an umbrella, but with some minor modifications, we were able to get it to straddle our regular umbrella base which weighs 60 pounds - so the table sits directly under the umbrella, with the umbrella pole going through the top of the table and into our umbrella stand directly below the table.  Very secure, and no clutter with efficient use of patio space.
