Does this umbrella require the pole to go through a table (for stability) or is it stable enough with just an umbrella base?

Needs to go through whole in table. Otherwise it will be in your neighbors yard the first storm that happens

There is no base, but the bottom part of the umbrella pole attaches to the picnic table and keeps it stable. The only down side to that is that you can't remove it, so if you take the top part of the umbrella off the other part sticks up above the table.

no, you need a base with a weighted bottom at 100 lbs. remember to get a weighted bottom on amazon that the umbrella slips into. table does have a whole for umbrella to go through. it is a nice table. the base weight is for high winds so umbrella doesnot blow over. we donot have a problem. good luck

The pedestal acts as the base. Umbrella goes into center hole and I did find the umbrella pole was a tiny bit loose in the table top, so I purchased some clear flexible tubing to "caulk arounnd the pole in the hole. Worked perfect! This is a very, very nice table and chairs. I looked for pedestal type table for a long time and this one was the right size. We've had up to 6 around the table, it was a tight squeeze but it was nice!

No it doesn't and the holes in the design are too small for any umbrellas I've found. You would have to use an umbrella and weighted base separate from the table.

I have 2 of these umbrellas. It should be fine just standing up in the table. It's a pretty tight fit

No - and beware - the pole is thicker than the pole I had on my patio furniture. You should purchase the base for this umbrella. I like the umbrella, seems to be holding up (second season - I take it in for the winter). Does not tilt.

There is not an umbrella hold in this table, but we did cut one in. Our umbrella sits in a stand on the ground below so the table doesn't need to provide any support. It works just fine. The women aspect of the table makes cutting a hold a bit tricky, but we're happy with the result. Also, most hardware stores (and online) sell little plastic inserts to smooth the rough edges.

HiThe pole of the umbrella did fit into this base and the screw tightened it into place but to be fair, the umbrella is over a table that has a hole in it and so the whole table supports the umbrella as well.

Even though the base for the table/bases are heavy enough I doubt that it will be big enough (the footprint) to keep the cantilever from tipping over especially windy weather. We have 3 11' umbrella's and the tables/bases hold up well, the wooden polls would break before the table/bases tip over.

Ours is in a table on our 2nd story townhouse deck.Umbrella is attractive and sufficiently sturdy. Because of it's diameter when open, I would not leave it open on a breezy or windy day. Do wish it had come with attached tie to secure when closed.

I'm the consumer, not a seller. All umbrellas need a base. If the umbrella mounts through a patio table, a lighter weight base is needed. If an umbrella will be free standing, a very heavy base is needed (at least 60 pounds) . I bought a 60 pound base plus I'm using two 60 pound sand bags. This ensures that the umbrella won't blow away in high winds, when it's folded.. If the umbrella is open. IMO. no base will be heavy enough to prevent blowaway plus damage. Even a 7.5 foot umbrella presents a big surface to high winds.

I did use a standard umbrella base. Just had to use a little foam to keep it secure.

It can't. Just returned mine. The hole at the base is too narrow to allow for the umbrella pole to go through.

hithe umbrella can be use with the base or table. please note, make sure to close the umbrella on windy day.

The "pole" portion of this stand does not go thru a table opening...only your umbrella goes thru your table...We have been using the stand with theumbrella in it as a "stand-alone" to free up our entire table for eating. that was why we purchased the stand, so we didn't have to use the table! And, we love it! It's a great stand, attractive and sturdy!

No, it just comes with the pole that goes through the middle of a patio table but you'd have to buy the base separately
