Giantex 23L Round Water Sand Filled Patio Umbrella Base, 20" Heavy Duty Outdoor Umbrella Stand, Fillable Outdoor Market Umbrella Holder, Suit for Dia 1.9'' Umbrella Pole

Works great and is understatedly stylish. This fits perfectly under my small 4-person patio table and holds my large, heavy umbrella very sturdily. We have had some huge storms with violent winds, but the umbrella stayed perfectly still. It’s also Beverly lightweight when empty, so if you need to move it, all you have to do is empty the water and it’s easy to move.

I bought this item a few months ago and so far I am satisfied with it. It it steady and has withheld plenty of rain. It seems to be durable enough. Overall, I don't have anything bad to say about it.

This is a good quality plastic umbrella stand that is easily filled with water and secured with a screw top opening. I am pleased with both the function and the style of this stand. It is very stable under windy conditions.

The insert is steel so if you put this on a concrete patio and the paint scrapes off it will probably leave rust spots. I assume it is steel and not aluminum as it is magnetic.The base holds a lot of water or sand so it can actually be quite heavy when filled which is good.The post that goes through the middle of the base that the umbrella goes into is separate. As such, it doesn't actually affix to the base but goes through the hole in the middle. This allows the center tube to spin and I am not sure of a way to stop it. Our 10ft will spin around if the winds pick up and I noticed it was the tube spinning not the umbrella poles or the plastic container.We put ours on a small outdoor carpet square so as not to leave rust circles. Maybe if this was on the patio directly the center post would grip enough on the concrete to not spin or it would still spin and ruin the paint or our exposed aggregate patio finish...I am pretty satisfied, but in wish the design was a bit different as to not to allow the center pole to rotate such as the pole being keyed or something so it locked into the base and can't spin.

Does exactly what I wanted it to do; hold my umbrella upright with slight wind when the umbrella was expanded. Did a great job at not tipping over with the umbrella down during tropical storm force winds. Mind you I filled it with water, not sand.

Beware - this and many other brands including drop-ship merchants are probably picking up the umbrella stand from the same manufacturer. The product does not leak water, but there is a metal part at the bottom of the stand that rusts and stains the concrete. That water contact comes when you are either washing the deck or from the rain water dripping down the side of the pan. This rust stain is not washable and is permanent on the concrete. So, it is a design flaw. Some people put duct tape at the bottom and others set the stand on a piece of carpet to reduce that risk. But just be aware of that problem.

I fabricated a reducer to fit a standard beach umbrella to give stability when at the beach. Saves digging a 1 foot hole for the metal anchor that I've been using to keep the umbrella from becoming a dangerous flying object. On hard pack sand, I just fill 80% with water and the 30+ lbs seems adequate to keep the umbrella in place, and I can slide it to adjust shade as the sum moves during the afternoon.Plan to fill about 50% at the ocean beach, where I will bury in the sand for added stability.Major disappointment with the filling port. The plug is too small, and takes too much time to fill. Also, the port includes a reinforcement lip protruding into the interior of the base, making it impossible to completely drain water. I hate to think of the nasty things that will grow in this dark, wet space! May drill a larger drain hole I I can find a push in plug at the local hardware store.

So far, so good. It seems to be heavy enough. I filled it with water.We have taken the umbrella down a couple of times when we know the weather is going to be stormy.
