I read reviews carefully before choosing this particular product. A lot of my choice was based on people who said they had not experienced movement of the umbrella during wind gusts. The umbrella is sturdy but the shape of it lends itself to twisting in the wind. It does not stay in one place. It will work for our purposes and is easy to dismantle; we live in Florida and experience strong winds and strong rains.

This umbrella was just what we needed we always use to set up a tent but once I received this and realized how incredibly easy this was to use I don’t think we will ever every go back to the tent I love the lights aswell I would definitely recommend this

First time my teenage granddaughter ever commented on a patio umbrella, she said the color was beautiful and size was perfect. The 15ft. covers all of the chairs and the table on the deck giving for you perfect shade cover. And at night the lights come on and gives off great illumination. The text came this Sunday 4/19 when the winds were blowing just about everything in its path and even took out our electricity for a while, but thanks to the thickness of the umbrella and the bags that comes with it for sand to put on the base, it stood.

Wow well the instructions were wordless. The parts weren’t labeled only the pictures in the pamphlet. Upon putting the base together, I thought some parts were missing until I looked at other reviews and realized the base or stand is partial cloth and that I will need sand to fill the cloth parts. So I will have to buy some sand before I can continue to complete this. I was assembling this in my living room. I will have place this outside. I like the large size of the umbrella though. Will update another photo later.

We purchased this in black. It’s large enough to create perfect shade for a six to eight person table, and the solar lights are lovely. Be aware it’s very heavy. Well worth it.
