 - Leaks!!!!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. Rating: - Big Big BigI 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. Rating:  - great deali bought this item with the umbrella and it has held the umbrella great! would recomend Rating:  - Southern Patio Blowmolded Base For Offset Umbrella A clever, well designed, very ugly, necessary evil for an off-set umbrella. I have to take some time to paint a garden on it!! :-) Rating: - Blowmolded BaseThis umbrella base works very well. It is quite heavy when totally full of water, but the wheels help when moving it from place to place. It does take two people to empty it when it is full, but it is not necessary to empty it when moving it. I would recommend it to anyone who has an offset umbrella.
