Vivo Technologies Parasol Base 12kg Round Garden Umbrella Stand for Outdoor, Garden, Patio, Heavy Duty Parasol Holder with Tightening Screw,Diameter 45cm, Black

Really good sturdy base. Very fast delivery so it’s five stars all round from me.

Heavy, Solid, well made and robust. Does what it neds to do and only misses out on 1 star because the plastic sleve that narrows the opening will slip out (attached to the sun shade) unless you tighten the screw knob with a level of strength only super heros possess (or a grip tool) ;)

Bought this to be used with a parasol that came part of a set purchased from a famous catalogue store ;)For under £15 I was only expecting a hunk of black concrete with a cheap tube attached but oh no, it's FAR better than that.The base itself is nice and heavy, with a nice textured finish and all nicely black with no scuffs etc. Around the edge of it is a plastic bumper sort of strip which makes it look neat and is probably so that you can roll it round without scratching the floor surface. Similarly, underneath there are also some little pads to keep it from scratching the floor. Very nice touches.The pole holder bolts very securely onto the base with minimal effort (and no tools required).It comes with 3 plastic adaptors to adjust to your width of parasol pole (mine fitted the smallest one perfectly) but it also has a screw bolt on the side if you needed to adjust it a little more.In my case, absolutely perfect. Arrived quickly too which is pretty amazing seeing as a heavy item like this didn't have any P&P charges on it.Very pleased.

This is a solid and stable parasol base which looks durable. Unfortunately on unpacking it was covered in fine dust, packaging was shredded, and most importantly the centre of the base was badly formed. Quality control and care at the factory seem to be lacking. I could have returned this free of charge using Evri but did not feel like transporting a 12kg package to my nearest Evri hub. Also given the state of the product I received I was not confident on receiving a better replacement. I kept the base because I think it basically a good product and I will put up with the cosmetic damage. If it had been in good condition I would have given it 5 stars.

Really pleased with this base very sturdy and weighted easy to assemble with different size attachment to fit pole came two days earlier than predicted so Really happy my only complaint is the sun's gone in.

This was purchased some time ago, and I thought it was high time I left a review.Firstly it arrives in two parts, the base and the pole for umbrella. You bolt it in and that's pretty much it.It's heavy! We had this all through the stormy windy period not too long ago, and it really made sure the umbrella didn't move at all. Remeber this when you attempt to pick up the parcel. You might not have accounted for the weight. The top of the stand is finished in concrete which is the reason for the weight. I am not sure if they dyed the concrete or simply painted over it, I am not going to chip it to find out.... Sorry.It's finished well, and even after a few months of having it, I have yet to find any rust on it, or any other damage for that matter.Worth the money? For sure, it fits the bill in terms of looks and weight. Not much else to it. Yes I am totally happy with the purchase.

Didnt do the job..the fitting pole wouldnt tighten hence the parasol (bought as advised to complememt) blew over in light winds..returned

This is a good parasol base. It is a decent weight and size
