Aethetically, this was exactly what we were looking for — simple, sleek — nothing overly decorative. This is our second season, and we had to 3D print better sleeve "shims" for the umbrellas because the screw really doesn't keep the umbrellas upright and level. Additionally, we've had issue with the casters on one of the bases — they may not really be able to support the weight as one caster bent in and the base can't be used with that one anymore (because it leans like it's on 3).
