The LUC23B metal umbrella stand is a cylinder of powder-coated black sheet iron, 19.5 cm across and 49 cm tall. The wall is perforated with a pattern of raindrops and open umbrellas — Songmics' own design, and the only ornament on the piece.
How much space it takes in a hallway
The stand occupies a 19.5 × 19.5 cm square of floor, less than a sheet of A4 — a figure to compare with the free strip of wall beside your front door. At 49 cm tall, full-length umbrellas stand proud of the rim and are picked up by the handle, with no reaching inside.
The whole stand weighs 2 kg, so it can be moved one-handed when empty.
What it holds and what is in the box
The box contains three items: the stand itself, a plastic water tray and two hooks. The tray sits on the bottom and catches the water running off wet umbrellas instead of letting it reach the floor. The hooks clip over the rim and take folding umbrellas — short ones otherwise disappear to the bottom and have to be fished out.
The manufacturer states the stand is not only for umbrellas: rolls of wrapping paper, walking sticks and nordic-walking poles fit as well.
Construction and the floor
The body is thick sheet iron under a powder coating, which is what provides the corrosion resistance — it matters in a container that regularly holds standing water. Anti-slip pads on the underside steady the stand and keep the metal edge off laminate or tiles.
