We put it on our patioLa Cálida Es Buena Y Grande Queda Bien En Todo Tipo de mesa De Patio☺️This Texas summer has been sweltering. Phones and beers bake in the sun. With this umbrella, our electronics stay cool and there’s relief from sun without the base impeding the walkway. There was no sandbag to anchor it down, so we bought that separately. Either way, this was a great investment. We are totally satisfied with the quality of this product.Not a fan of the plug design but besides that, these do what they are supposed to do. Be heavy.This definitely works better than the weights that go between the bars. This one sits on top and is more stable. My umbrella hasn't blown over once!Filled with sand defiantly better than others.. legs go under the main body of stand not at seamThis set of four base plates that fit most cross stands for patio umbrellas are exceptionally well made and hold about 32lbs of water each. That provides a total of around 130LBS of weight to hold a stand in position securely.Each of the four components are super-easy to fill with the use of a common hose, and the threads allow for connecting the hose directly to the base plate while filling. A heavy-duty plastic screw secures the plates after filling without leaks.The four go together to create a square design, encompassing the primary umbrella pole.These are built to last a lifetime and without any issues. They earn an easy FIVE STARS from me, along with my honest and hearty recommendation. Exceptionally well-made and work perfectly!Very nice and heavy
