Does this REALLY need a baseplate? I mean, after spending a lot of money on this, I then have to shell out another $15 for a base to build it on?

no it does not. and if it did, you can put something under it that does not cost $15. :-) my 7 year old built his in a day. he generally keeps it on an old cutting board, which makes it easier to carry around. he plays with it regularly, and it is all still in one piece.

I just moved ours from room to room. If you're careful when you pick it up, it's not problem. I would say no, it doesn't need a base plate if you are going to leave it set up. If you're going to be asking your child to put it away every day, then maybe something to make it easier for him/her to carry it on, but not necessarily a base plate.

It needs a base plate if you are going to move it fully assembled from one table to another, or if a younger sibling is going to be playing with it. It's fine if played with by a careful child and not moved too much.

We do not use a base plate. My son keeps it on a small table and he can move it around easily without it breaking. It is totally worth the money for the castle though! Awesome!

Mine did come with a base. Brand new in its original box. I did not get this same style though.

Yes, you do need the base. However, this expensive phone system has not worked well for us. It has some sound quality issues on all three phones we purchased.

I would buy the base that goes with it. This way it will match up for sure. The prongs have to match up.

Sure, the base is pretty sturdy- but you'll have to find the hardware yourself (i.e. screws, mounting bracket, etc), there's nothing built-in, like a pole-top mount or anything.

The base is attached with screws. Yes, if you removed the screws, you are left with a 90 degree plate that is welded to the pole. That is what I did with my current setup. Good luck .

We had the Graco Snugride32 and yes, it came with a base. We bought an extra one also so that we could switch between cars. The additional one was about $50, but well worth the expense for the ease it afforded.

You know- cost wise- you are better off making a regular plate and shoring it up with dirt or rocks. BTW- I collect pretty stones etc and embed them in mine- also have a special one that has the grandkids handprints with ages on it.

You need to purchase a base plate stand, heavy is better. The water filled ones need to be filled with sand instead of water because over time the water leaks out or evaporates.

No, you must buy the base separately. Make sure that the diameter of the pole matches the diameter of the pole insert on the base. The heavier the base, the better. A heavier base may cost more, but one that is too lightweight will render the umbrella virtually useless with a slight or moderate breeze. If you plan on setting the umbrella through the center of a patio table, you may not need a heavier base than if you use it as a stand-alone. Hope this helps!

No, it's optional. We mounted ours without a base plate and it is beautiful.

It does come with the base you see in the picture but not the main base. You need the main base for it to work.

base plate is only optional and it is good if there other holes(new or old) or you like to use one plate as cosmetic or decoratives. effects. luis m . febo

It comes with three baseplates (a "small" blue one for the ocean and "mid-sized" green one for the house/lawn, and a "very small" tan one for "beach"). You do not need any larger baseplate to put this on.

I did not have that problem...However I suggest you take the screws and the top section of the base to a local hardware store such as "Coast to Coast" or "Ace Truvalue" and show them the problem. These folks will try several screws until they find the correct fit. This is your least expensive option!

No! This unit does not come with a base plate. It mounts directly on the counter top.
