I love these umbrella stands.  I purchased two of them to put on the inside of my front door—one on each side.  They make the end of my hallway, by the inside of my front door, very pretty!  They are sturdy; we put umbrellas, canes and long shoe horns in them, and they keep the hallway looking beautiful—no more clutter!  Very pretty!  I’d buy these again in a snap.
