arrived in 10 days and works perfectly holding our offset umbrellafilled it with water and it weighs more then enough even in strong windgreat base great deal
But be very aware of the space requirements and its imposing presence. And when filled with water, you will need at least one other person to help lift and move/roll this sucker (and a third to hold the umbrella so it won't fall over).It functions absolutely as described. Measure your area carefully. Well, the umbrella is not going ANYWHERE with this base filled. It's huge.
The unit has wheels, but once it is full it is very heavy and difficult to move. Had to fill with sand to keep it functional. ( I guess that makes sense ) May be better just getting 4 large paver stones. Filled this unit with water and it worked OK for a while. Moved a couple of times and the unit cracked.
I suggest getting the triangle shaped umbrella weights instead. And for the price why buy something so unattractive for your patio area. We found some and they work perfectly and are low to the ground and fit in much nicer with any patio decor. This product works as described, however, it is alot larger than it looks in the picture. It is very ugly.
I filled mine with water (and a little bleach) so that I can easily empty it and move it into the garage come winter. This is a must for any offset umberlla and at a great price. I would recommend this product to anyone buying an offset umbrella. It works great even in strong wind. The white color was so bright and imposing that I bought some brown spray paint at the local hardware store that is specifically for painting plastic and I painted it. Now it looks and works great.
