Looks pleasant in a bronze finish. holds a 9 foot umbrella with an aluminium pole really well. my umbrella tilts and so far no instability problems even with the tilt in place.

The Search Is OVER: A Heavy Duty, Attractive Stand at a Great Price,

This review is from: DC America UBP28281-BR Cast Stone Umbrella Base, Made from Rust Free Composite Materials, Bronze Powder Coated Finish (Lawn & Patio)
We bought a very expensive commercial off-set umbrella for our large pool-deck a few years ago - it came with retractable roller-wheels and all - but what we ended up with was a behemoth that is still extremely difficult to move (and you DO need to MOVE off-set umbrellas), HUGE (not in a good way), and UGLY. The trade-off for umbrella bases seemed to be insurmountable: you need weight and a large base for sturdiness and stability but you also want it to be attractive and have a certain degree of nimbleness or maneuverabilty to make the base USEFUL. But everything I looked at was either too light and/or flimsy, too huge and/or ugly or too ($150+) expensive for something so simple. But when I found and bought this base, we finally ended up with a heavy-duty, solidly and simply constructed, attractive and un-obtrusive yet still MOVEABLE umbrella base at a GREAT price - and it took less than 5 minutes to put together - and I'm NOT very handy. The stand is 44 lbs HEAVY (what you need) but not bulky or awkward, and the resin coating on it makes it slideable - with a little muscle - when you want to move it. I'm not going to say it's EASY to slide - it IS 44 lbs so a child or senior citizen might have some difficulty - but again, with a little muscle (I'm a 5'6" woman with medium build and no real muscles or weight routine to brag about), it's NOT hard to slide - taking the umbrella out first makes it a little easier. The resin coating also makes it weatherproof and adds to it's attractiveness. The only real negative was when it was delivered, the cardboard packaging was in rough shape - torn and open in several places - so that made me a little nervous but, in the end, nothing was damaged and we couldn't be happier. We plan to buy two more.

We bought this to replace a smaller, lighter base. Our umbrella, which is not all that big, would cause the old base to fall over when we tilted it. This base is heavy and does not fall over at all. It's very solid. I recommend it 100%.
