Is the surface totally solid or are there openings other than for the umbrella?

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.

it is not totally solid. there are other openings but they are small; plates and cups are fine on the surface. I can sit 6-8 people around the table. it is nice and heavy too. it was easy to assemble. we just love it!

It is somewhat. I use it for my Doxie when it rains. She hates to go out then. But the umbrella fabric isn't really (at all) very thick. I wouldn't leave it up very much.

I have one of these and there is no umbrella hole. There is a large hole where the firebowl sits and you can cover that with a cast iron cover which looks like the rest of table top. The cover has a ball-shaped hand hold on top which looks somewhat like a hole in the picture but isn't.

The opening is about 2 1/2 inches. I assumes that all patio umbrellas fit all bases. If you want to be sure, you would need to know the width of the umbrella pole.

Not sure but but it's quite substantial. Quite heavy , nice beveled edge. No umbrella hole however .

No - Legs are part of the Umbrella. The base is simply a large plastic balloon that you fill with sand or water. It can be moved with a lot of effort by rolling on it's wheels, and when full of ballast, works quite well at it's task of keeping the umbrella stable. It is, however, one of the ugliest things on my deck.

This umbrella has a slit all the way around its center to allow breezes to pass through. That said, it's still an umbrella, so you'd need to keep hold of it in a strong breeze.

The top is solid and hinged and the bottom is solid. The sides are slatted but it is all enclosed. If protected, the surface should she rain well although, it is flat. We have had children's toys in it all summer, rain and shine. I did cover it with a kind of varnish: TCP 315.. I don't have that right but it is a treatment for wooden roof shingles.. I think it should be fine outdoors in snow and in snow melt. (be careful when assembling. They anticjpate errors that people seem to want to make .... including me.. chuckle.

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.

I have the wooden pole with no cracks ... however, it is bending and is not completely straight after a very short time .. this happened even though I collapsed the umbrella every night and when I would leave the house, or during high winds ...

No, it does not. It's a very solid and hefty table if that's what you're going for, but nothing to put your umbrella into.

yes it has umbrella hole. there is an insert that pops out in the center and you can also put it back in when not using the umbrella.

It is porous and does let water through. Being under it is better then nothing but it will not act as an umbrella.

The assembly is very easy - it arrives in 2 pieces, just slide the top pole into the bottom piece. The umbrella is connected to the top pole.

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

No. There are ventilation openings on top to allow wind to go through the umbrella. Very happy with the umbrella. Would recommend it. Have had it for 1 year and I kept it indoors during the winter. We have direct sun in our backyard and this helps substantially.

Yes, there are two knobs just above the base that are easily tightened. Our 13 foot umbrella has stayed secure, never a problem. When you move the umbrella around a lot, make sure and check that the knobs are still tight. I have noticed they can come loose after a lot of movement.
