This umbrella stand is exactly as the seller described it. It was super easy to set up (in two handles) and came reasonably packed at my house on. In addition, the shipping was super fast (in two days I had the product). In addition, all super processed and for the price a real bargain. The only thing you should consider is the weight, but actually it is clear that a granite umbrella stand is heavy! All in all a great product, which I highly recommend!
