Worked well at the beach in sand

This worked really well for us at the beach. It's very sturdy and appears to be well made. I found that I needed to dig down into the sand about 6-10 inches and then put the stand into the hole, and cover up the base, and the umbrella was stable and sturdy all day, even when it was a bit windy.

| Sorry to say this holder, for which I paid extra to arrive in time for a baseball tournament, broke the first day we used it. We had to pound it into the dirt, which was fine for the first game. One of the bottom spikes broke off when we were pounding it in for the second game. Does anyone have another holder to recommend? Sharon |

I love the "Original Umbrella Stand"! I chose this after much research, and have used it dozens of times, in all weather conditions.
Pros:
High Quality: Made of High Quality Steel (All parts, including Thumbscrews, are metal: Meaning No Plastic to strip or break!!) Scratch Resistant Finish: Despite heavy use, still looks and performs "Like New"!
Easy to Use: I bought this for use in parks and fields, and therefore my review is based on use in Grass and hard packed soil (not sand.) Simply place it where you want it, step down easily on each side until the spikes are in and the top plate is flat against the ground: Easy! Takes very little effort, and stays put.
Stays put, even fully loaded during storms! I really load this stand up with a 7 foot Beach Umbrella with heavy things hanging from 4 umbrella hooks ("Umbrella Hooks for Towels/Camera/Bags": Just Great!) and an Umbrella Table loaded with drinks & gear. Even with all this "stuff", my umbrella and Stand have never moved, even during wind and heavy rain storms!
Versatile: You can use it with one umbrella in either the vertical or slanted holder, OR, you can use 2 beach umbrellas at once (one vertical & one tilted)! Note: A beach umbrella and a smaller golf-type umbrella will not work together: They must both be beach umbrellas.
Size: With a 7 foot beach umbrella in the vertical position, 4 foldable camp chairs sit closely but comfortably around the pole in the shade.
Cons:
Because it's a quality steel product, it's heavy, and with the spikes, it is a little cumbersome to carry and store. Solution: "The Original Umbrella Stand Bag" on Amazon or at umbrellastands.
I Highly Recommend this Product!!!

| I'm so glad that finally I got this umbrella stand, because Me and my daughter love the shade while my husband and my son are playing under the sun. We carry it to my kids games, beach and sometimes we use it in our backyard to play picnic. We are not afraid anymore of the wind. (In the town that we live, most of the time there is a lot of wind) |
Great item
