Southern Patio Blowmolded Base For Offset Umbrella Reviews

Customer Rating:
Summary: It's better than nothing I guess...
Comment: Filled the base with water and it works fine if the winds aren't that strong...so, my advice is, don't leave umbrella left open unattended. If a strong gust of wind comes rolling in, umbrella will tip over...mine did. Frame bent and lucky for me I was able to bend it back.

Lesson learned...don't leave umbrella open unattended even with the weighted base.

Summary: Got an offset umbrella? Don't hesitate: get it.
Comment: If you have an offset umbrella, wind is your worst enemy. This base does the job: fill it with water, and forget about gale force winds. Your umbrella will stay put. A note: it's a big one, so if you aren't planning on keeping the base under furniture, you might want to look at a cover of some type, as it's hard to overlook the enormous white cube on your patio. :-)

Summary: Leaks!!!!
Comment: I just set this up with my new umbrella and I was very disappointed to see that it leaks! I can only fill it up to the seam. I don't know if that is going to make it heavy enough to hold up the umbrella in the wind. I'm very disappointed. It is very large and ugly and takes up a whole corner of my patio, but the umbrella won't stay up without it. I guess I can try filling it with sand, but that's going to make it almost impossible to move if I want to take it down to the back yard.

Summary: Big Big Big
Comment: I was disappointed to open the box and find that 1) it was white. No where in the description did it state this is a white base nor was there a color selection. The picture [at the time of my purchase] appeared to be a light tan shade. The box indicates that this base is available in the tan, white or hunter green. 2) This base is HUGE! 3) It had ugly molded handles that are not shown in the picture.

Back to the size, I was planning on placing my offset umbrella behind an Adirondack chair and have the chair sort of hide the base. But there is no way! This base is not only gigantic, it's thick and cannot be hidden except for under a table. Very disappointed.
