if you wanted to use an umbrella, how would you use a base? Or does the pedastal on the table act as a base?

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!

The table is not totally solid on top. There is an open lattice design on top but the holes are not very large. I use one of those zippered vinyl tablecloths with a whole in the middle for the umbrella. That alleviates any food from falling through the table top. You can use placemats too.

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.

It doesn't have a true base, it has metal feet. What was recommended with the instructions is to get 4 12x12 paver stones to put on the metal feet to keep it secure. The patio pavers do keep it nice and secure. I live in North Dakota where the winds routinely get up to 50 mph and have never seen the umbrella move.

I actually haven't put an umbrella in mine, but the hole looks like it would hold my regular, big umbrella. Sorry not much help on this answer. But love the table.

There is no round hole in the table for an umbrella. You could have a tilting or standard umbrella to the side. We love our set and use it everyday. Because of the configuration of our apt building the terrace is in the shade afternoons and evenings.

I have a heavy 9" umbrella that I use with this table. I have a umbrella stand under the table where the umbrella stands in. It works fine with my umbrella and the table does hold up the umbrella. This table works fine, especially for the price.

Yes you can. However it doesn't come with a base that lies on the ground to hold the umbrella in place.

There IS a hole in the top, which has a matching plug/cover, and the base also has a hole. IT COMES WITH A WARNING NOT TO USE AN UMBRELLA. There is no way this unit can hold it up. An option would be to support the base somehow. This table is extreemely lightweight. Can be lifted with one hand.

You cannot attach an umbrella, but we bought one the freely stands to the side and arches over the table. It's perfect.

Per the company, you can use an umbrella with it - but only if you get the heavy base to support the umbrella as the table is not heavy enough to do so on its own. Of course this will take up space beneath the table and may interfere with leg room, so a side umbrella may be preferable. Finally, the hole in the middle of the table would be significant as you would obviously remove the ice bucket and cover in order to put an umbrella there.

I use the umbrella that came with a completely different dining set that I purchased 10 years ago. In other words, any umbrella that can stand on its own (meaning it has its own base) can be inserted in the hole provided in the little shelf between the gliders with no problem.

The next time I will see this I can ck for you. I am thinking there is hole at the bottom where it crosses. The table is lightweight but it's pretty sturdy. Just from my memory it looks like you could put a weighted base on the cross "beams". We have considered putting an umbrella in there was a light weight wrought iron base i know that would work

This base is supporting a 10ft cantilever umbrella. We filled the base pieces with wet sand and haven't had any problems.

You don't need a large base for this umbrella, you can actually put it in a tiki torch holder and stick it in the ground or a planter. It's basically a beach type umbrella and not that heavy but very cute.

I use my rectangular 11' umbrella in the Bahamas using a 50lb base made of concrete. However, I make sure that it is taken down during high winds as they can blow it over. I hope this helps.

Yes, you can add a umbrella to the center of the table if you install the 2X4 cross brace called for in instructions.however, the umbrella would require a ground footing in order that it is anchored by the table and at the floor or ground. A small bucket 6" tall and 9" wide at the top filled with sand would do the job if you are using in on a patio like I am. If you are using it in a grassy area you could dig a hole for umbrella shaft
