I’m only giving this item 3 stars because I thought from the description it was coming “pre-filled”. Upon opening the very lightweight box, it appeared to be empty. As I opened my account to find this item in my orders to write my review, I noticed that the subject description states “empty” umbrella base. I don’t think that was in there before. But I’m not going to spend money returning it. I’m a single mom and thought buying something pre-filled would save me time and a backache. I do like that this product was made in the USA. I guess for 27 (sale) it is a good purchase. Would have received 5 stars from me if it were pre-filled.was actually pre. as stated.
