I can't believe I have to give this product 1 star after seeing that it averaged about 4 1/2 stars. After much research on Wayfair and elsewhere, I purchased this stand to hold a lightweight 9' market umbrella (also purchased on Wayfair). While the stand is visually beautiful, it does not properly hold the umbrella. The umbrella pole leans to the side. After reading some online suggestions, I put wood shims to fill in the slight gap. This only worked temporarily for the first day. The next day, the pole on the base itself is also slightly loose whereas it wasn't the day before. My guess is the ever so subtle breezes yesterday loosened it already.
It is honestly too much of a hassle to return in these current circumstances (COVID), so I will be keeping it and making do. I got this stand on sale and it was still costly because of the weight. I am glad I did not pay full price.
