I’ll be honest—when I first saw the Qeeboo Killer Umbrella Stand online, I wasn’t sure if it would feel gimmicky in person. A shark sculpture for umbrellas? It sounded like something that might look cute in photos but feel cheap up close. But when it arrived, I was genuinely surprised by how substantial it felt. The light grey polyethylene has this smooth, almost stone-like quality that makes it feel more lke art than plastic.

It sits in our entryway now, and every time someone comes over, they do a double-take. The wide-open jaws hold three of our umbrellas perfectly, and it’s become this unexpected conversation starter. I didn’t expect it to become such a functional part of our daily routine—it’s not just decorative, it actually organizes the chaos of wet umbrellas by the door. You can view product here if you’re curious.

What I love most is how it blends humor with design. It’s playful without being childish, and the recyclable material means I don’t feel guilty about adding more plastic to the world. It turned out better than I thought—this little shark has personality, and it makes me smile every time I walk past. Sure, it’s an investment at $540, but for something that doubles as both storage and sculpture, it feels worth it. Our entryway finally has some character, and honestly, that’s priceless.
