We first had a lighter base. Then the shade always tipped over and finally broke. With the new umbrella, we have now bought the matching base. It is also very easy to move because of the castors.

The base weight depends on how much wind you want the tilted glider to stay in. 50kg is difficult to move, but I am very happy with it. It is a concrete base with a metal tube, not a design product, cheap from the orange giant.
