This stand is too lightweight to free stand a 9' market umbrella. It tips over in a medium wind. In a light wind, it spins enough to loosen the bolt underneath that holds the main upright support and then it wobbles.  I got rid of the boxes when I unpacked them (I ordered two) or I would return them. Also, the upright support is too tall to use under an outdoor table that would accommodate an umbrella. 


Pros: It looks good.
Cons: It isn't sturdy/weighty enough for a free standing umbrella base.
