I've had this for about 5 years... It's been stored in the corner of my entryway, holding umbrellas (including parasols), fishing rods, and bamboo swords/wooden swords... I no longer need such a large umbrella stand, and it's still in good condition, so I'm listing it because it seems a waste to throw it away. Please understand that this is a used item before purchasing. Those who are overly concerned about condition should refrain from purchasing. (^○^)
