The Round Base

Ordered two round bases, one arrived in an undamaged box but with a chipped coating in several spots, so poor quality production. The other came in a box that was nearly destroyed by FedEx. I'm going to just keep them and spray paint them if I have to in order to keep them from rusting. It's a bigger pain to try to return but the quality isn't great. Glad I didn't buy my umbrellas from Midtown.

The umbrella holder is 1- 5/8 in. in diameter and the shaft of my umbrella is 1-1/2 in. I had to put a few wraps of duct tape around the shaft to make a snug fit. Some standardization of sizes would be helpful.

The best we ever had
