I just received it and put it together in under 2 minutes. Seems to be excellent quality and may order another to replace another metal one that I have. Heavy and hopefully will stand up to the weather. Excellent packaging.

No real assembly required, just the base (which is cement on the bottom) pole, and a few clamps.
I literally inserted the pole into the base, drug it outside and my patio umbrella fit right in. It’s not wobbly or anything, very sturdy.
It does look a bit dusty and worn when you take it out of the box, but it’s due to the dust from the cemented bottom (for stability) getting all over the black pieces, but once it’s together and you hose it off, all is well!
I was nervous about ordering , BUT the wind blew a chair onto my old patio table this past spring and shattered the glass, so this was a cute replacement for my umbrella, to put my 4 cushioned chairs under to still enjoy my backyard until we get a new table.
I’m beyond satisfied w/it!

This 40 lb base is perfect for my patio umbrella. It keeps the umbrella steady and secure without any wobbling. The weight is just right for stability, and the wheels make it easy to move around when I need to. It’s a bit heavy, but that’s to be expected for something that holds up so well. Overall, great product for the price.
