I received this item and by appearance alone it betrayed its poor craftsmanship. Nonetheless I assembled it, put my umbrella in it and set it on my patio. The very next day I picked it up, moved it a few feet, and set it down... and it split in half. It’s incredible that Wayfair charges $45 for this piece of garbage. What’s more, their return policy states the customer pays for shipping on returned items (this item weights nearly 30 lbs), and it must be in the original packaging. Even if I wanted to spend nearly as much on return shipping as I paid on the item, I disposed of the packaging after assembly. I would expect this kind of service from a small-time seller, not a large international online shopping website. Bottom line: Wayfair sells extraordinarily cheaply made products and doesn’t support customer returns. There are so many players in this industry, this is my last order from them.
