I read the reviews before purchasing this and was very surprised that it was so awful.It look great and is very heavy (which is what I had hoped), but it's not welded well at all. It was outside for about 3 days (rained once). I put the 9' market umbrella (which I also purchased on Wayfair) in it and the base broke off immediately.  As you can see from the photo, it looks like it was only welded with three small dots of metal.

Update: Wayfair is shipping me a replacement part for this. I'm hoping that the bad welding was just a defect. I'll update after I receive the replacement. As usual, five stars for their customer service!
