PURPLE LEAF DY1130 Offset Patio Umbrella Base Sand/Water Filled Square, 36.6'' X 36.6''

We purchased the cantilevered umbrella about 6 years ago (more or less) and a base was included with the purchase. We bought two new umbrellas this year and much to our surprise no base was included…it was necessary to purchase 2 bases from purple leaf for approximately $180 each… needless to say I was put off. However customer service was very accommodating in helping us get the proper base… even though we spent extra money we are totally satisfied with the umbrellas and bases… customer service was excellent!!!

This base is awesome. It took a little while to get it filled, but it's very stable. It holds our umbrella perfectly and we couldn't be happier with our new Purple Leaf umbrella, base and cover.

I decided, after placing an order, I wanted to change the color of the umbrella I bought. I emailed customer service and someone got back to me very quickly. She was wonderfully helpful and understanding-- shout out to Kate--- and she even helped me with a return from the company's shop on Amazon because the umbrella I ended up selecting needed a different base. I am very pleased with the product, as well! (PURPLE LEAF UV Resistant Left-right Tilting Patio Umbrella Swivel Outdoor Umbrella) It was easy to put together and our neighbors already commented on how good it looks!

Works as intended, relatively easy to use. No big problems.

Great base for the Purple Leaf Umbrella. Keeps the umbrella very stable, easy to set up

I ordered the 10 x 13 cantilever umbrella for my decks. I have rails all around the top deck. We also set the umbrella up in the corner so it would turn to our lower deck. The original problem with the setup was that the screw holes on the metal bars of the base were machined a very slight bit off. We contacted purple leaf and were offered two options to remedy the issue. We didn't want to return it, so we decided to drill more and keep the product without voiding the warranty. We were now ready to set the umbrella up in our space.The space we chose for the umbrella was tight, but we could open it. When we closed the umbrella, it got caught on the railings, table, and chairs. All the chairs and table had to be moved to close it. We realized this was going to fail to work in our space. I contacted Purple Leaf, and they offered us a refund with no problem. We asked for specs on a smaller product, and they responded promptly with the information we needed. We repurposed the large umbrella as suggested and will order a new smaller one.I was leery about ordering from the company at first because they don't offer service via telephone. Throughout this process, they have been extremely responsive via email, helpful, and accommodating. I give Purple Leaf a 5-star review for customer service!Since I purchased the product a few weeks ago and will be purchasing a smaller one for that space, I will review it separately after some time spent using it. If you have room to turn it without obstacles on one side, it is straightforward to open, turn, tilt, and close. Consider buying a smaller one for decks with rales and other barriers. For the 10 x 13 umbrella, you will need two people to place it in the base. It took one stronger person to lift and move it and another to guide it into the base.I am editing this because I didn’t mention that the quality of the umbrella was amazing. We opened it on a day with some winds and it tolerated them just fine. The poles and fabric seemed extremely strong and that is the reason we will try a smaller one in our space.

Well-constructed and sturdy, just fill with water and the Purple Leaf umbrella screws right on.

Kate from Purple Leaf was terrific. At the outset she was able to coordinate the delivery of the umbrella and the base, which had been purchased at separate sites. She followed up a lot to make sure everything was working well. She even offered a few helpful hints regarding set up. When one of the bolt sleeves for the base had not been threaded properly she sent a replacement part right away and checked to make sure the new piece was received and was working. Over all fantastic customer service!
