Does this come with the black base as shown in the picture? Is the base metal or other material?

The base is black plastic, the same material as the shower. It is four interlocking squares with the attachment for the post in the middle. It also comes with special bolts so you can fasten it to a concrete pad (or wood decking, if sturdy enough). I also got a black 50 ft. hose to connect the shower to, which I position in the sun to increase the amount of hot water available.

mine came with a plastic base - actually 4 plastic squares connected together with a hard rubber connecter. it seemed a little flimsy until the column was filled with water, at which point it sits solidly on the ground. if you don't want to use the plastic base, you can bolt the metal bracket at the base of the column directly into concrete decking.

Hello Joi,This model does come with the black base which is a durable plastic piece. Thank you

The base is metal mesh but has metal sticks to make it solid. It is very well built. It slides in & out nicely. My friend has another type and it sticks when you try to pull the drawer out.

Black top, black inside (screen and keyboard) and silver base. It is exactly as the picture shows.

Hi Judy, The base looks like metal but it is actually plastic which is filled with probably cement. It is quite heavy for stability and I have not had a problem with it tipping over. Most of these types of racks do have those small round bottoms so I'm not sure if you would find a big wide base. Anyway, I'm happy with it...looks classy and is very sturdy especially for the price.

No. Just the clear plastic and the black plastic base. Ours arrived cracked.

The black base is a hard vinyl/plastic, and the metal rings are chromed. They look pretty good on my truck, and were easy to install with just a screwdriver.

Mostly plastic, part metal. However, I literally had to pick up the thing and inspect it for the answer -- it doesn't look like cheap plastic, and the base is heavy to keep it steady.

The base is a weighted brass finished material. When I tap it with a metal object it doesn't ring....but has a dead sound like it's plastic. It has a laquer finish which wouldn't be necessary if it were solid brass. Best guess? It's not brass. Very attractive and very stable. Remember, brass will tarnish over time, I don't think this will.

It does not come with a base, it does come with mounting hardware, is very sturdy and was easy to install.

Yes it does come with a base but not as shown. It's basically an "X" formation made out of metal. We live on a bay with high winds at times so we screwed the base into out deck for stability. Great Umbrella (we love the LED lights at night!) and highly recommended from our end. Hope this helps!!

Hi Kim. Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, the bases will have all black hardware, just as the picture shows. Thank you! Jill

The base is metal, and it's superior to other lamps we've installed. The bulb is well protected. I left all outside this past Minnesota winter, and all are working today. It's a good product.

The base is as shown...kind of an aluminum cross. You need to get large pavers to hold it down.

I spoke with my daughter and she said that it does come with the base. It is pretty, lightweight, it is very nice.

The table is black. The base is hollow metal but is very balanced and doesn't tip.

The base is large and is black plastic, not smooth but with a bit of a pebbled effect. I was planning to paint it using the marbleized paint but , as it turns out, the base is hidden behind an end table where we are using it. Everything else is chrome-colored. The lamp looks very nice for the price--much, much lower than similar lamps. A far as I knew, we could not choose a base color. Would have chosen chrome if I did have a choice.
