- The description for this umbrella states that it comes "fully assembled" but it does NOT. (We expected it to be somewhat difficult since the parts are quite heavy but it was quite challenging.)
- Though we knew all theseumbrella bases are large, our wheeled one surprised us. At 3.25ft X 3.25ft x 8" it takes up a good chunk of space on our smallish 10' X 10' deck, and looks kind of clunky.
- After assembly it's just over 8ft tall plus the 8" base. We thought "height adjustable" included the pole, but just the umbrella itself can be adjusted up and down.
- Our biggest issue is you can't tilt the umbrella to block the sun at different times of day, without rotating it (or moving it to another side of the deck, which won't work for us.)
- Finally, we strapped the umbrella to our deck railings because the effect of moderate wind gusts felt a little unsafe. (It's highly doubtful it would withstand 30 mph winds, as claimed.)
- Overall, it's a nice, well-built umbrella, but not really suitable for our situation. We may unfortunately have to return it.
