The granite parasol base is praised for its sturdiness and attractive design, effectively holding large umbrellas even in light winds. However, some users report stability issues in stronger winds and quality concerns.

Reliable product

This has had good use over the summer and worked just as expected. It also pairs well with another Argos product I have. A reliable buy, and I’m looking forward to using it again next summer.

Looks attractive which is the only positive. The underside where the hole is was damaged in the drilling process with small chunks taken out. The washer that cushions the threaded stud to the base was so small as to chip off more bits of granite. If you do buy make sura you have a washer of approximately 5 cm diameter

Nice sturdy parasol base which is a solid slab of grey granite, holds my large 3m parasol well even in a light breeze, looks great and does the job.

This is a great parasol base. The square shape is much more stable than a round base. It’s heavy, making it suitable for large parasols.

It’s relatively early in the season to say how robust it is. Only time will tell. It is not black though, if you are colour coordinating. More mid to dark grey.
