Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2024
So far so good ! Only had this a few months now. But the umbrella never tipped over and so far I haven’t seen any leaks. We have them filled with water. I will drain them and put them in the garage for next year when it gets colder here in Ohio. Very easy to install. The clips fit perfectly ! Definitely worth the money !

Highly recommend, as the umbrella does not stand on its own without a heavy base like this. So essential and it fit perfectly...

5.0 out of 5 stars Convenient and worked fine
Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2023
These counter weights are convenient, because they use water for the weight ballast. Moving them around, storing them in winter, etc. is easy because when empty they’re light-weight. I found them to be durable and fits well on our umbrella base. When filled, they are heavy enough to secure your umbrella base.
Only one caveat I can offer: If you’re in an area subject to freezing temperatures, BE SURE TO DRAIN THEM BEFORE THE FREEZING TEMPERATURES OCCUR!!! These are basically water jugs, so when the temperature drops the water inside will freeze. WHEN WATER FREEZES, IT EXPANDS and will potentially POP any container that holds the water.

4.0 out of 5 stars It is adequate
Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2024
It arrived when it was supposed to. It was easy to put together, I used water from the water hose. It is very large and takes up lot of space.once the water is inside, your I can really move it around. Make sure you have it where your u want it So far the cantaliver umbrella has not fallen over . I would recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Low profile base that is more stable than it looks
Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2022
I have two of these bases on umbrellas on my deck. One is about a year old and this purchase just a month ago. When recent purchase came, there were some holes in the box and one "connecting clip" was missing. After answering just a few questions, the seller shipped out a new set and I was all set (seller was also super quick in responses and very helpful).

I had the original filled with water and filled the new one with sand. I've had winds over 60 mph (with umbrella down) and only once had issues with umbrella stability and found out it was because two of four bases were not completely full of water any more. Switched to sand in that umbrella base and no issues since with either. With umbrella up, I've had gusts of wind move umbrella base a few inches but never a major issue (base sitting on trex deck with 12' umbrella).

Even though the bases can withstand significant wind, on my trex deck, they are also quite easy to move. Simply take out the four connecting clips right on top, move around, reinstall connecting clips.

Great umbrella base with flexible filler material options. Stable, yet easy to separate and move as needed.

This really holds the umbrella even in wind. Problem was I filled it with water and it cracked. Apparently I overfilled it. Be careful when you fill it up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Base + Alternate Assembly Hack
Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2021
I think the rest of the reviews have covered the quality and sturdiness of the item. As you can probably tell from the photos, the base is very big. It takes up a lot of space on my patio, but it definitely works. Size-wise, it fits perfectly with my Bluu Cantilever umbrella stand.

On to the hack....

Someone was kind enough to post a review on how to fill the base with sand quickly called "Read this Assemby Cheat", to simplify what otherwise could be a very tedious process. Using their terrific idea as a baseline, I modified it somewhat and it worked very well for me.

I took a 2-liter bottle as recommended and cut it in half to work as funnel into the base. With a little bit of effort, the spout of the 2-liter bottle fits perfectly into the filling base.

However, instead of using the sand you find outdoors in your local big box retailer, which gets moist over time, get the sandbox sand they sell indoors (usually in the /concrete masonry section of the store). It is very fine sand (much finer than paver sand) and is completely dry. Four 50 lb bags should do it and it was less than $20 total for me.

With the finer, dry sand, you can funnel it directly into each base without any water or clogging. This obviates the need for two funnels or using a hose to keep the sand flowing into the base. Just pour the sand directly into the funnel and it goes right into the base. When you've filled up each compartment with sand, you can then add water to finish it up.

Since I did the filling by myself and the sand bags are unwieldy to start due to weight, when opening each new sand bag, I poured the first batch of sand into a bucket with a pouring spout. I then simply poured the sand from the bucket into the 2-liter bottle funnel. Once the sandbag was a little lighter, I could pour the sand directly from the bag into funnel. It worked great for me, so I hope it does for others as well.
