Hayward 80 lbs. Concrete Patio Umbrella Base in Black

It is true to color and very heavy. Works well!

Heavy and well thought out umbrella base. This unit is heavy, but with the locking wheels, it makes it easy to move. Once locked you would have to have winds strong enough to know you over in order to tip this unit over. In those winds you probably wouldn't be outside anyway. The base has 2 different size connectors so you have more flexiblity with the umbrella pole size. There are 2 retractable handles that make it easy to grab and move. The wheels swivel which allows you to move in any direction with ease.

The umbrella stand came in less than a week. No damag, I plan on using this with my 9 foot umbrella to keep the sun and rain off of me and the grill. Now I can grill in all weather conditions.

I love concrete and wish more stuff were built out of it. This is a rather nice umbrella base with a basic design. Yes, it is super heavy and I felt very sorry for the deliveryperson whose back must be hurting a lot. On the plus side, the weight makes for a very stable umbrella base which is what we all want. The wheels are very handy and can be easily locked. It does look good, comes with handy handles, and should last forever. No complaints here, it does what it's supposed to do.

We recently had a patio poured off the back deck area. This gave us additional space to entertain and grill. This umbrella stand is going to be awesome for where we need it. My goal was to get something that would hold the umbrella down, but easily be moved out of the way when not in use. This is perfect. I can position the umbrella where needed so the sun isn't beating on me while grilling, and then roll it over to shade our seating area. As the description says, this thing weighs 80 lbs. It is heavy. As I saw other reviewers mention, mine did arrive with a slight imperfection. One of the corners was chipped on the bottom. You can see it in the pictures. Even though the box states "fragile", I am sure the carriers have a hard time with transporting it due to the weight. I watched my carrier on video struggle to get the box off the truck. It is basically an 80 lb concrete slab with some very careful thought on where to place nuts to attach the wheels, the main post and two places to pick it up if the wheels are not used. The wheels are adequate and have levers to lock them down to keep the base from rolling. Overall, this is perfect for how I plan on using the stand. The small chip on the bottom is not a huge deal as it is concrete underneath. I would suggest picking up in store to verify it shipped intact and then ask for assistance loading it in the car. May require two people to assemble due to the weight. I simply opened the main box and then held it up on end to assemble. Then once the wheels were installed, set it down gently.

I am using this on my back deck where we get north lake front winds. It is working out perfectly. It is very stable and you can lock the wheels if needed.

yes, this base is very strong and sturdy, high winds of 60 mph did move it at all. Highly reccommend this base.

I bought two of these umbrella bases and I love the teal color and the weight of these bases. I live on the lake and when storms come my way, I am confident now that my umbrellas will not be lifted up and taken away. The assembly was easy, the wheels are a great addition and make moving these "heavy concrete bases" very easy for one person.
