(More customer reviews)This umbrella stand looked durable enough for our small 7 ft patio umbrella, and so we purchased. Upon arrival I noticed that it was of course,molded plastic, the seams where the pies joined seems very thin and the corners just below the handle did not seem as thick as the rest of the stand. Nevertheless we filled it with water and put on the cap. It leaked enough that half the water was out of the stand in 30 minutes toppling the umbrella and scarying the heck out of our small dog. The corners above below the handle as stated opened up like the red sea and out gushed all the remaining water.
I do not recommend this poorly crafted stand. Beware it may topple on you or a small loved one!!!!!!
I am filling is with concrete to see if I can salvage my purchase, BUYER BEWARE! You Get what you pay for!

I stand corrected as a previous poster noted that that instructions called for filling the stand with sand not water. Well I filled it with concrete the second time around and it still is not heavy enough or built properly to handle my umbrella. A small wind sent it toppling over again, completely breaking the plastic on one side. In addition,in the short time I have had it,the bolt on the bottom has rusted and caused major rust stains on my concrete patio. Stainless steel should not corrode that quickly?
