US Weight Durable 50 Pound Umbrella Base Designed to be Used with a Patio Table

We needed a heavyweight umbrella base and it had to be white in color. After researching several different websites and varieties, we purchased the "US Weight 50 Pound Umbrella Base in White" from Amazon because of the free shipping through Prime. Another website (patio decor ratings) that offered reviews on umbrellas and bases rated this particular product as by far the best especially over the self fill version (they said absolutely do NOT fill with water) as the self fill option only came in around 35 pounds instead of the 50 pounds we needed for a large umbrella. I figured my UPS man would not be happy but he said they handle up to 150 pounds and this would be no big deal! Upon arrival, we took another reviewer's idea and drilled a hole into the aluminium umbrella pole where the base screw goes in so as to tie the two together when tightening down the screw to the pole. Worked like a charm. Our 11 foot (ultimately changed to a smaller 9 foot size) umbrella, which runs up through our table, has no swaying, and has survived several breezy days with no issues. A few little things...the built in handle is really helpful to lug it around, the design is such that water cannot collect in the umbrella pole opening, and it cleans easily with just mild detergent and water. My only "complaint" would be that the screw is hard to hold on to and we used pliers to turn the thumb screw. We added a patio table cone wedge (purchased from Amazon) as the tabletop hole is 2 inches and there was a little play in the pole as it came up through the 48" round table. The cone wedge worked great. I must say the ratings review from another website sold us on this particular unit and they are correct. Well worth the money with the filled version base option! Just as an FYI...I waited a month after purchase to review this umbrella base as I wanted to make sure it performed as described! 04/23/19: Just ran across my review and thought I would post an update. Our umbrella base has been continuously on the deck since last June. Been through a hot, rainy summer, a bitterly cold winter and is still working great. In fact it looks better, and has held up better, than our expensive deck furniture! 🙁

I'm not sure how to review this item. It's really heavy and the patio umbrella fits into it. I've had it for a couple of years and its working fine.

I This is nice but very heavy.. but it rolls nice u can pick it up too move it but if roll it it’s a lot easier too move it..it’s under the table u just have too look ..

Item arrived either previously used or slightly damaged. Opening in top which receives umbrella pole was slightly misshapen, but with a little pressure my 1.5-inch diameter umbrella pole was able to fit, albeit snugly. However, this appears to be a good quality item at a good price. Like a previous reviewer, I was simply amazed that I could get it shipped free. I'm definitely satisfied with my purchase.

Fits Perfect

This stand may not be pretty, but it's the first one I have owned that can sustain winds. We have had a few cold fronts move through with winds between 20-30 mph and the table stayed in place. All the stands I have owned in the past would just "go with the flow." If we forget to put the umbrella down I don't have to fear I'll walk in the backyard later and find it all levitated across the yard, propelled itself in a neighbors home. I am impressed. It is very heavy and ready to use. I am sure my UPS cursed me bringing it from the truck to my front porch. NOTE: I wouldn't use this as a stand alone. I do believe it needs to be used with a table that has the hole down the center.

This company makes the best products. The logical, intelligent design, quality are outstanding. This is my second purchase of this manufacturer’s products and the reason is because I was so pleased with the first item I purchased on Amazon, made by this manufacturer. Don’t hesitate to purchase these products. Easy to use, easy to set up but basically there is nothing needed to set this item up; just needs to be positioned to do the job it was intended to do. Awesome product!!!! 😀😀😀

Very very heavy

Very nice product. Heavy enough, holds the umbrella well. My house gets a lot of wind and the umbrella has stayed put.

Weight of base is good, however, feel that if it had a "shaft" projecting upward in base it would help keep umbrella more stable. Great if there is no wind but if windy does not support the umbrella enough - if you are fortunate enough to be in a non-windy area it would be really good.

This is much more compact than our previous umbrella stand, so it takes up less room on the balcony.
