Product Description
Color: Green
All bases and base stands are individually boxed, unweighted, and available in five colors. Fully weighted, these bases offer slightly over 50 lbs. of heavy holding force for any umbrella. Each model features a locking screw-on cap to hold the sand weight inside it¿s durable molded resin body. This feature enables dealers or consumers to purchase sand for weighting at their local home stores and easily fill the bases with sand themselves to reduce shipping costs. All stainless steel hardware.

So Far, So Good!,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Umbrella Base 232 Green (Tools & Home Improvement)
As described, no doubt about it.
Please: DON'T even think of "cheating" and filling this with water. It's *NOT* designed to hold water inside. Duh. It's designed for sand. Home Depot has a 50-pound bag of washed, screened play box sand for a paltry $2.50 in this part of the world. Not a bad deal. My spouse and I **eventually** got most of the sand (probably about 40-45 pounds) inside the base. Once filled, the base holds our 9-foot fabric umbrella (purchased at Amazon.com, of course) quite nicely. I'm a bit leery about that single bolt putting enough pressure on the umbrella pole, but, so far, so good. I might eventually remove the pole from the stand and drill an oversized hole in the metal pole -- that way, the bolt from the stand could pass **into** the umbrella pole, and that ought to be even sturdier and more stable. The stand is attractive and comfortable enough to place bare feet upon it while sitting at the table. The only reason it didn't earn 5 stars? The insertion point for the sand could be MUCH larger. That would have been really helpful. Our sand was damp and clumpy, and it took a LONG time to get it inside the relatively-small filler hole in the base. A larger hole would have expedited the process tremendously. The cap for the filler is clearly not water-tight, but appears to be sand-tight under current conditions. It appears that the manufacturer intends that once you screw it in place, you shouldn't ever try to UN-screw it and remove it. Recommended, but with the caveat that if your sand is in the least bit damp, it's gonna take you a long, long time to get it inside the base! :)

Works Well and holds the umbrella.,

This review is from: Umbrella Base 232 Green (Tools & Home Improvement)
The umbrella base, works well when filled with sand or pennies. It's plastic, but when filled it weighs alot. The connection from base to umbrella consists of a screw that you tighten. It seems to hold the umbrella well under gusty conditions.
Nothing more you can say, but it works as it says it does and I've had no problems with it this summer.

Cheap but functional,

This review is from: Umbrella Base 234 Beige (Tools & Home Improvement)
I bought this for a 12 foot umbrella and used ~50 lbs of sand in it along with an extra 20 lb sand bag for additional support (gets rather windy here). Have been using it for a few months now and it hasn't budged.
