I love the umbrella stand. The only thing I would recommend is putting something in the bottom like a dark piece of cardboard, so that umbrellas do not scratch the wood. The stand is very sturdy and the color is a rich brown. I would have preferred if it was offered in black. This is a good value for the price compared to others.

Pros: Sturdy and not apt to be knocked over by our dogs. Easy assembly. Great color.
Cons: Wish I could have gotten it in black, but the brown is nice.
