The package arrived in good shipping condition and very quickly. Set up was simple, and everything went together easily. I appreciate the ease that it slides up and down the pole vs the style of our last umbrella. The locking mechanism and the components feel very sturdy. Would recommend!

The ONLY reason I am only giving this Umbrella 3 stars is because it doesn't include the base. Unlike the other reviewers, I noticed this before I got it and I bought one. Plan on spending around $60 to $80 for it. Its ridiculous that a $200 umbrella wouldn't come with something that is absolutely necessary to make it function. Its like selling someone a couch without the cushions. On the other hand, the umbrella is super nice, bright color and I love how you can move it 360 degrees depending on the sun location. It looks like it will hold up for a long time.

Its a really nice umbrella and I love how it has so many positions. Putting it together by one person was super simple! I may have missed this when ordering but you have to order the base separately. Once it was together it kept tiltingfalling over. Once I re-read the directions I realized I needed that base.

I do not recommend this item for purchase. The color was very yellow and not white as described. It does not come with a base, so it tips over. It is very poor quality and I would not purchase this again.
