The black steel frame gives the piece a clean, minimal structure, while the woven rattan insert adds warmth and texture. It’s a smart combination — the metal provides durability and shape, while the brass softens the look and introduces a more organic element. The stand sits on small rounded brass feet, which elevate it slightly off the floor and protect the base. A removable brass drip tray sits at the bottom, making it easy to clean. There are open sections at the top, allowing for several umbrellas to be stored without them leaning into each other. What stands out is the balance between industrial and natural materials. Nothing feels over-designed; it’s a simple piece that does its job well and looks good doing it. The rattan panel is tightly woven and still in good condition, with some natural aging that adds a bit of character. The brass details have a subtle patina, which works well with the overall tone. A useful, quiet object that fits in both modern and vintage interiors. See less
