The present invention is essentially comprised of a deck furniture mounting stand which is removably attachable to a deck\s boards. By loosening or tightening nuts threadingly engaging a pair of mounting rods, the stand may be removed from, or affixed to, respectively, a deck. The stand of the present invention includes a base portion having an upper surface, a lower, deck contacting surface, and a predetermined periphery defined by a continuous edge. A cylindrical, pole (umbrella pole for instance) receiving member having a bored hole formed therein for reception of the pole is positioned in centrally, upwardly extending relation to the upper surface. Further included are two apertures formed through the base on opposite sides of the pole receiving member to receive the mounting rods which secure the stand to the decking. The mounting rods are each comprised of a linear, threaded shaft portion which terminates in a first end, and an opposite second end formed in the shape of a loop having deck engaging burrs integral therewith. The burrs penetrate the deck to provide extra support to the stand. The first end extends upwardly through the aperture and includes a nut threaded thereon to prevent the rod from falling away from the base. The loop of the second end is of a thickness smaller than the width of the spacing between two adjacent deck boards, and a width greater than that of the deck\s spacing.
