Heavy duty for sure!
This product was received for free in exchange for an honest review. This is a very durable product. Holds the umbrella perfectly. It is easy to move. The last one I had was very hard to move. Pretty much ready to use right out of the box, just add water or sand or both.

Design Flaw, Questionable Company
Defective design and should not be sold at all!
I purchased five of these bases and five Sedona Commercial Grade 10ft Round umbrellas. This base cannot even hold the weight of the umbrella, let alone if there is any modicum of a breeze.
I have pointed the design flaw out to the company. But it appears they do not care that much. Moreover, when I asked for a refund, th...

Quality product, but not compatible with all umbrella
This would be a great umbrella stand, but it didnt come with screws or anything to allow us to connect our umbrella. This base probably is only compatible with the same brand's umbrellas that comes with the rest of the pieces. It moves well because it has wheels and a handle to make it easy. Made of sturdy plastic. I'm going to try to come up with something that will al...

Great umbrella base
The Hank Heavy duty weather resistant umbrella base works really well. It’s sturdy enough to hold a sizable umbrella. I like that it has  built-in wheels for easy relocation.

Heavy duty base will hold any umbrella!
This stand is heavy duty. The thick plastic will last a long time. The wheels makes it easy to move. The assembly is easy as can be. It takes 4 screws to put the umbrella on.

Like it
I received this product from Influenster.
It was heavy, sturdy plastic and weather resistant. This product was easy set up, it has grooved handles in the middle for easy lifting and 4 wheels on the other side so really easy to move anywhere.

Well designed!
My 6 foot cantilever umbrella would constantly fall over with the slightest wind so we couldn’t ever use it, without the fear of it falling into the pool and causing major damage. I needed to find something that would help stabilize. Was very easy to attach my umbrella to the top of the base which is held with 4 screws. Once connected add water and your umbrella is safe...

Large, sturdy, portable.
Heavy duty. Portable. Nice wheels. It is a large size and has 2 openings to fill with sand/water. I have to shop for the umbrella now. The photo shows where the umbrella will screw into the base. I will post an update after I get my umbrella. It will soon look like an Italian Cafe in my yard.

Great Umbrella Stand!
I love the Hank Heavy Duty Umbrella base! I needed a new one after my old umbrella base couldn’t handle the elements that summer weather can bring. It’s really stable and the wheels on the bottom make it so easy to move around. It was really easy to assemble and I can’t wait to put in my umbrella and enjoy my deck even more !
