What "best" can mean in this set

"Best" on this page means the only row with a printed weight, printed dimensions, a cantilever-cross line, and United Kingdom review evidence. Garden Marketplace B07CTT9M2Z is a 25 kg polished granite plate, 47 × 47 cm, at £64.99, with 4.8 from 16 ratings. The seller still wants at least two plates, and four if the patio is exposed. One tile is the top pick in this set of three. It is not, on its own, the base Ruma's shop guide describes for a free arm, which starts around 90 kg near 3 m. B0HB4M7WSZ is £68.99 and B0HJ5JMTTK is £77.99, both titled as 10 kg curved grey granite, with no star line and no dimensions. That price gap is shelf arithmetic, not a lab score. A centre-pole socket is a different object from all three.

Garden Marketplace 25 kg plate

Buy B07CTT9M2Z if you have a cantilever cross and you will order plates, not a single decorative tile. The bullets say it fits most cantilever cross bases and parasols up to 4 m as stated. That line sits with the seller's count: two plates as the minimum, four where the spot is exposed, and the canopy closed when it is windy. A UK review describes four plates under a 3.5 m cantilever. Another review records a cracked tile that was replaced. Twelve UK texts sit under the 16-rating line, so the sample is small. Skip this plate if you need a pole tube, wheels, or a washing-line spike. There is no socket, so 32 mm, 38 mm and 48 mm do not apply. The underside has handling grooves, and the page does not answer whether there is a carrying handle.

The two 10 kg curved listings

B0HB4M7WSZ is a Generic listing at £68.99, model KM-PuFzpl. The title claims a 10 kg curved grey granite base that is also a ground spike for a rotary washing line . It is only worth opening if you are comparing the cheaper of the two generic curves and you can check the pole size on the live page before you pay. B0HJ5JMTTK repeats the same 10 kg curved grey title and uses the same image URL, at £77.99. Model A-1, part number KM-THnCJ8, one item, country of origin China. There is still no star line, no dimensions, and no pole diameter. Other shops sell a similar title with a 38/48 mm adaptor. Those figures are not printed on either of these ASINs.

Listings the search shows that are not in this comparison

A search for the best granite parasol base also returns socket bases, and those are a different product. None of them turns the 10 kg curves into reviewed cantilever plates. Four plates at about £260 are the same order of money as Bramblecrest's 90 kg wheeled cantilever base at £257, and they are a different object: loose tiles against one base with a handle. Match the person to the ASIN on this page, then use the buying guide if you still need plate versus socket. Free-arm kilograms are on the cantilever parasol granite base page. Plastic you fill on site is on granite parasol base vs water filled.

Common questions

Which granite parasol base is the top pick in this comparison?
Garden Marketplace B07CTT9M2Z, the 25 kg plate at £64.99 with 4.8 from 16 ratings. It is the only listing here with dimensions, a cantilever-cross line, and UK review texts. The top pick is one plate in a set of three, not a complete ballast. You still need two plates, or four if the patio is exposed.
Is the Garden Marketplace plate the whole base or one weight?
It is one weight. The box is a single 25 kg plate, 47 × 47 cm, with no cross, pole, or cover. The seller asks for at least two, and four in a more exposed place. One tile does not meet a 90 kg free-arm guide on its own.
Who should buy the £68.99 10 kg listing?
Almost nobody who needs a parasol base should stop there. B0HB4M7WSZ claims 10 kg and a rotary washing line, with no dimensions and no reviews. Open it only if you are comparing that cheaper generic curve with the £77.99 twin and you can confirm the pole on the live page.
Why is the £77.99 listing a worse buy than the £68.99 one?
B0HJ5JMTTK uses the same title and the same image URL as B0HB4M7WSZ, at £9 more. Model A-1, part KM-THnCJ8, one item, and China are stated. Those extra fields do not add a star line, a size, or a pole diameter. You pay more per claimed kilogram for the same missing evidence.
Are the two 10 kg listings the same product?
They share a title and an image URL, and they are still two ASINs. B0HB4M7WSZ is model KM-PuFzpl at £68.99. B0HJ5JMTTK is model A-1 at £77.99. Neither has a star line. Do not merge them, and do not paste another shop's 38/48 mm adaptor onto either page.
Do the 10 kg bases have Amazon reviews?
No star line and no review text are in the file for B0HB4M7WSZ or B0HJ5JMTTK. The plate is the only row with a rating: 4.8 from 16. Check the live page before you treat a later rating as stored here.
