Parasol en porte-à-faux 9 pi

This is one of my all-time favorite Wayfair items! The umbrella was easy and quick to assemble and is very large and easy to adjust. As for the tilting the angle of the canopy, there are 3 positions it can lock into. In one position the canopy is horizonal, parallel with the ground. I've also included a picture of the most upright position where it lock. You can set the canopy to be perpendicular to the ground, but it doesn't lock there, so I wouldn't recommend it on a windy day. The pole swivels 360 degrees with the included foot pedal and can stop and lock anywhere in that range. Where I have placed the umbrella, I can cast shade to the patio or the lawn. Those are the two elements are are easily adjustable. Some things to keep in mind: - The black weighted base, does NOT come with this it- this listing is for everything except the black weight base. The base they refer to in the description is the metal part in a cross on the bottom of the umbrella. All four sides of the cross have 3 predrilled holes, so you could theoretically bolt it down to your deck or patio (hardware not included). In our case, we know we will move it from time to time to block morning or evening sun as needed (taking it apart and moving it was about 10 minutes for us). - For the weighted base, I ordered the "Shafee 180 Lb. Plastic Free Standing Umbrella Base (Set of 4)" here on Wayfair and it fits perfectly. We filled it with water and that seems sturdy enough to me, as long as we close the umbrella when we're not actively using it. Filling it with sand or water/sand combo would make it even more secure. - The base is large; each side of the square is almost 32", so it about 7 sq ft. that it will cover on the ground. Some people cover the black base with planters to add more weight and make it a bit more attractive. - One person can put this together, but it will be a lot easier to place the pole w/ canopy on the base with two people. - Tips for putting the canopy on the base: there is a bolt pre-installed on the pole on the base portion, take that out first because it is the bolt that secures the base and canopy together. Also, the groove of the pole is oriented toward the foot pedal on the base. - There is Styrofoam on the inside of the canopy taped on- it would probably be easier to get that off before putting the poles together. Overall, it's a great product and I highly recommend this! I think we will love it for years to come!!

Off hand this seems like a nice product but I can’t give an accurate review since it is missing parts. It is missed the black base you see in the listing photos and because of that it will not stay up and is off balance. I have contacted Wayfair for a resolution and will update my review once I hear back.
