JYSK STALAK ZA SUNCOBRAN LIRYPE 12 L SIVA

Pros

• Good value for money: Frequently mentioned as a positive aspect, especially considering the low price.
• Suitable for small parasols: Works well for smaller parasols. Suitability for larger parasols is debated; some report success, while others report failure. Specifically mentioned as suitable for parasols up to 120cm.
• Lightweight and easy to use: Described as lightweight and easy to use, with convenient size noted; easy to move around. Convenient for transport (e.g., by bicycle).
• Adequate for calm conditions: Functions well in calm weather.
• Does the job: Frequently stated to fulfill its primary function of holding a parasol, at least under ideal conditions.
• Easy to fill with water or sand for added stability: Water filling is commonly suggested to improve stability.

Cons

• Poor stability in wind: A significant number of reviews report instability and easy tipping in even a light breeze. Water filling is sometimes suggested, but not always effective.
• Fragile material: The material is described as thin and easily damaged; scuffing on concrete is mentioned. Material defects (deformed or damaged units) are reported. At least one user reports a crack in the base upon delivery. A plastic part is reported to have broken during assembly.
• Weak clamping mechanism: The parasol pole clamping mechanism is reported as weak, leading to tilting or the parasol falling out. The clamping mechanism is described as having a poorly made screw closure that easily strips. The clamping mechanism is reported to be unable to hold a parasol pole, causing it to rotate freely.
• Does not hold heavier parasols: At least one review mentions failure to support a 9kg parasol, resulting in bending. Reports of incompatibility with larger parasols (including some from the same seller) are common.
• Leaks: At least one review explicitly mentions leaks.
• Inaccurate diameter specifications: One review mentions that the advertised diameter range doesn''t accommodate a parasol from the same seller within that range.
• Poor parasol fit: At least one review highlights incompatibility with a parasol specifically purchased alongside the base, despite the seller''s assurance of compatibility.
• Breaks easily: Reports of the entire base bending and breaking after only a week of use.

Comments

The product''s stability remains the most prominent issue. While many find it affordable and functional in calm conditions, instability in even light winds is a widespread complaint. Material fragility is another recurring concern, with reports of cracking and damage even before use. Users have attempted workarounds like adding concrete, sand, or water to improve stability, indicating a design flaw related to insufficient weight. The quality control appears inconsistent, with several reports of damaged or defective units upon arrival. The base''s suitability for larger parasols remains uncertain, with both success and failure reported depending on the parasol''s size and weight. The clamping mechanism''s weakness is also a frequently cited problem, with reports of stripped screws and inability to securely hold the parasol. Some users report having to modify the base to make it compatible with their parasol. The small size is mentioned as a positive aspect for some but also a limiting factor for larger parasols.
