Very sturdy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Sunnydaze Heavy-Duty Cast Iron Outdoor Umbrella Base Stand, 18-Inch is an outstanding umbrella base! We were seriously in need of a new base and this brand met all our needs. It's a good weight, about 25 lbs and has a thumb screw to lock the umbrella let securely into the opening. The height was perfect for the length of the umbrella brand we have and it is beautiful. We did add a coat of exterior black spray paint and after it was dry, used a few coats of clear sealant and it is stunning. We are very pleased that we don't have to remove the umbrella with every little breeze as it is very secure. Definitely a high quality product and are confident it will last for many years to come.
