California Umbrella75 lbs. Round Concrete Weighted Powdercoated Steel Umbrella Base With Wheels, Black Frame

This stand should hold the umbrella through gale-force winds. It is very heavy and quite sizable. (The UPS driver was not entirely pleased to have to lift it.) The only drawback to the size might be that it takes up a lot of room underneath your table. For the price, though, I think that this was a good choice; I've seen cheaper-looking versions that cost a lot more money.

I originally bought this for its 75lb weight (heavy duty), and the ability to wheel it around. The wheels roll very poorly and stick quite often. The base is not that sturdy because the umbrella would constantly tip over. This resulted in breaking $153 umbrella (same brand as base). It’s a very expensive base to perform so poorly. Now I have to buy a new base and umbrella.

These umbrella weights are heavy enough to hold a patio umbrella under normal conditions. There doesn’t seem to be a reasonable way to move these. I’d assume that you could tilt it so you could roll it on its wheels, but moving the weight by the post voids the warranty. So they’re a pain to move in a way consistent with the warranty.

Very sturdy even when it is extremely windy. And it looks great.

The screw that connects the umbrella pole to the base is only half an inch. It is too short and weak to support the weight of the umbrella, it loosens with every slight movement.The base is heavy and sturdy but the screw used to connect the pole to the base is too short.

Looks attractive but not well designed. You cannot move it by the pole, as it breaks like the instructions say it will, then u have to have a friend weld it back together, groan. Instead, u must pick up the edge that is flush to the ground - without a handle or hand hold - and pivot onto the wheels. Really? At 75 lbs this is not practical. Get a design with a handle. I will say it looks attractive with a slight sheen to the bronze finish and the wheels are sturdy and after 15 month, the finish has held up well.

The weight is appropriate to hold an umbrella securely. Only one assembly step to screw the holder in to the base. The base insert that holds the umbrella has a plastic threaded base that moves once fully seated. The umbrella moves around inside and does not stand up straight. I had to fashion plastic shims to prevent it from moving. I had a fixed base stand for 15 years that eventually rusted out but the base was solid and vertical. The attached wheels are very tiny, hard steel rollers (not wheels) which roll poorly over rough surfaces such as aggregate walk ways. The wheels can easily gouge a soft surface such as decking if running over a pebble. Tipping the umbrella stand to roll it requires you to bend down and lift the front of the base. Grabbing the umbrella pole to tilt the base will break or damage the umbrella or the base. The painted finish is very rough but that appears to be from the very light and insufficient packing of the product for shipping. If the product wasn't so heavy with such poor packing materials I would certainly return it. I do not recommend this product.

This heavy duty stand is just what we needed. No worries about it blowing over. The wheels allow you to easily reposition.
