Would this table be strong enough to keep my 6.5' umbrella straight with my base that is not holding it straight on its own?

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

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.

I would say no. It's a real cute set, but lightweight. More for use out of the wind in a patio or something

It would probably work, it is kind of cone shaped, its 2.5 inches at the top and tapers to about 1.75 inches at the bottom, so when you put it in your table hole, you will have to push it down untill its tight, it will not sit flush with your table top, but it will keep your umbrella secure.

I have been using it for a 10' span deck umbrella in a fairly windy area. It has been able to keep the umbrella steady; I worry more about the railing spindle to which it is attached.

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.

Yes as long as the umbrella wasn't tilted and windy. I always put something heavy on the legs to help stabilize it when I tilt it.

I'd be surprised if there were a problem. The umbrella screws into the bracket/clamp at many different angles and should do the trick. Quality made.

Doubtful. I bought 2 of these, each for 8' market umbrellas. One was free standing and the other held an umbrella which was through a pub table. The free standing one kept blowing over.

I used it as such, but only as a foundation base for a small outdoor round aluminum end table with a umbrella hole in the center. Without the base my small beach umbrella and end table falls over with the slightest wind. Used with the aluminum table, the TIKI stand it is more stable and rarely tips over. To use it by itself to support a beach umbrella is not advisable.

If it is not through a table which stablizes the base somewhat. Find the heaviest base you can. Here, we get some fairly strong winds.

absolutely - the x cross bars of that umbrella will be under the stand, and the stand gets filled with sand (use two 25# bags) for stability. SO, be sure you have it where you want it - moving it once filled with sand is IMPOSSIBLE. :-)

I don't know exactly how tall my patio umbrella is but it's pretty tall and my stand holds it free of any table assistance quite well even with a moderate wind.

The umbrella holds up just fine. The suggested base was not heavy enough to withstand the force of strong winds so the entire unit at times would fall over. I bought a heavier base and haven't had any more problems.

I use the base with 11 foot umbrella and have no issues. Works well for me.

The table will hold it I think. It is wobbly. If ayone was to touch the table it may fall over. I use the table for looks. It is not a sturdy reliable table. Mine was cracked when I received it.

It absolutely is possible. If you have a drill and round saw bits. You can cut a hole in the center of the table, making certain you're cutting through the middle of the support beam underneath as well. To offset the cut would weaken the support beam. Of course your umbrella would need to be weighted under the table so it doesn't catch a wind and fly off. :). Also, the 2x10 option would be the best bet when adding the umbrella. The larger wood offers more support when your cutting a hole in the center.

HiThe pole has an oval crank up device that is about 18 inches above my table level as it goes through the tabletop. If you were to take a saw and cut the pole below that device it could be used with a table top base. However, keep in mind that the stability of the umbrella is dependent some what on the support that passing through the table gives it. In a no wind situation, you would be OK.

I would say no. I would get a taller base that is one-piece sturdy metal. This one is held together by a nut and washer on a bolt. I have a 6 foot wood market umbrella and it seems a bit top heavy in this base. I think it would be fabulous with a smaller umbrella in it.
