"umbrella stand"の定義と意味

What is an "umbrella stand"?

An umbrella stand is a container or holder designed to store umbrellas when not in use. It is typically made from materials like metal, wood, ceramic, or plastic and is placed near entryways, hallways, or in closets. Umbrella stands usually have a wide opening to accommodate various umbrella sizes and may include a base to catch water, keeping the area dry. They help organize umbrellas, making it easy to store them neatly and keep them accessible, while also preventing water from dripping onto the floor.
