Love the base. It's sturdy and securely holds our 9' umbrella, yet it can easily be relocated. We ordered two and one came damaged. Wayfair was exceptional by quickly sending a replacement but it was fell through the box and dropped on our driveway when being delivered. So... the replacement was also damaged but at no fault of Wayfair. They should just be packaged with more padding and in stronger boxes due to their weight. If that didn't occur (not just once but twice) this base would most definitely receive a 5 rating.
