In an embodiment, an umbrella stand comprises a central pole having a first and second end. The first end is adapted to receive an umbrella pole. The second end is adapted to retain the central pole in an upright position and comprises a spike as well as a plurality of pivotally mounted ribs extending radially from the central pole and material attached to each of the ribs also extending radially from the central pole. Each rib has one or more along the rib joints, which may be double joints in an embodiment. The stand device further comprises a locking mechanism rigidly holding the stand device in place. The ribs are moveable between a closed storage position wherein the base and central pole are folded together and an open position wherein the ribs extend away from the central pole and the material spreads.
