Great product with even greater shipping.

- 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.

Love that you can move this base around with the wheels

The umbrella does require two people to set it up in my opinion, I had the Angie person come and do that. It’s just so large! Once it is set up, it is so easy to move around and also lock in place. I love the tilt because you can easily adjust it by sliding it up and down the bar with the holes to lock in the tilt angle. Swiveling it around is also easy. So there’s really nothing that could be improved in my opinion. Highly recommend.

I purchased the 9 x 9 umbrella. I unboxed it but haven’t assembled it yet as I am moving in a few weeks. The umbrella looks very well made. I will follow up once I use it. I did buy the wheeled base as I might want to move it.
