Our patio sits next to a pond and it gets pretty windy out there . Have used the typical big box stores umbrella bases and all have tipped over. Purchase this one and no more tipping over. Only took 3 days from order to delivery, would definitely order from this company again.
The weight is perfect as I have a 9 foot umbrella and the wind often tips it over. So far this one has done the job and so far I am pleased! Only problem and its on the carrier and not Best Choice, is they damaged it in route, but not enough to return it. Just a chip in the concrete.
Very sturdy and heavy, which what you want in an umbrella holder. Since it is so heavy, having for wheels for movability is essential. Looks great too which is a bonus.
