This has been the BEST base that I have ever purchased! It is very heavy and can hold larger heavy Umbrella&#x27;s. The base has handles that pull up to move it. There are also casters(wheels) that come with it, making the umbrella easy to move! I have had the plastic ones that you fill with water and they do not hold a candle to this one. You will be happy that you bought this base. High quality and worth every penny.
