Received the umbrella and put it up. There was a small breeze and it was constantly trying to blow over. It has holes in the stand so it could be bolted down to a deck. We were using it on a concrete surface. I also ordered the Umbrella Base the 55 Pound one, thinking the weight would hold it down. It didn't work well at all. I went to my local Lowes store and bought 6 12x12 concrete patio squares (I got the red brick color). They were $1.39 each and they have been working really well so far. They fit over the lip of the stand perfectly and they don't look bad either. The concrete color can also be stained. I think I will get  4 more to completely cover the lip of the stand.
