This extra large market umbrella is perfect for our outdoor pool patio. It provides excellent shade, is easy to open and close, and feels sturdy even on breezy days. It looks great and has made our space much more enjoyable! The base (shown in picture) comes with a cloth cover on top, instead of plastic. We placed bags of rocks inside the base instead of sand, but it is working well and I don't think a cloth cover will be a problem.

The umbrella is very large so I cannot open it all the way in my home when I place it outside I will update the photo. The material is thick but the poles that hold it up are very fragile so I’m afraid if it rains or the wind is very harsh that it will tip over.

when we ordered it, I wasn’t expecting it to be heavy duty, it’s made well, won’t tip over easily, the base is heavy as well. Really big when opened, gives lots of shade. Looking forward to using it in the summer. We highly recommend this umbrella

I love this umbrella! I have had one before and it really shades a large area. The beige color is great in the sun. The only thing it comes with sand bags to hold it in place. I perfer the pieces that hold water.

Disappointed with this item too. No umbrella stand. Not any more from you all
