I have been looking for an umbrella stand for my tiered patio umbrella (purchased last summer on Overstock and an excellent product) for about a year. This one fit the bill - came well packaged - nice and heavy, good paint job, good looking, and quick to assemble. My only (minor) complaint is that the 2 turn-key screws that hold the umbrella in the stand don't fit the umbrella as "snug" as I'd like - but so far, we've had several really windy days and no problems with a toppled umbrella. The price was reasonable for the product's quality, although I admit I was a little dismayed to see a slightly smaller stand of similar weight and quality at a discount chain store last week that was a little less expensive. Overall, though, if you do a lot of patio entertaining like we do, then this is good investment that will last many years.
