I'll go back and rate it higher once we have it longer.  The base was sturdy and nice looking.  The only thing I'm worried about is how the pole attaches to the base.  It screws in with a bolt and seems like it is a weak point.  It would be sturdier if it went through the concrete and screwed on the bottom.  I could imagine this being the weak place and with high winds the bolt bending or snapping.  Time will tell.
