This umbrella stand was exactly what I needed for my front entry. It fits almost perfectly in the cubby corner left by the very asymmetrical door placement and helps to visually balance the space. I do say almost because it's just a hair too deep in either direction to fit properly between the doorframe and wall, but because of that I can attest to its sturdiness, having run into it many times without dinging it. All in all, I would absolutely buy this again.
