The base looks nice and not cheaply made like some I’ve come across. I have had a couple times where my umbrella caught wind and blew over and also where it was pulled out of the base because the screw that presses against the umbrella pole wiggles loose. I wish it was a little heavier and that there was a way to secure the umbrella better. But still giving it 4 stars because it’s nice-looking and I didn’t find many that weighed more than this during my search.
