Great value since a large umbrella can get very expensive. This one is basically the size of 3 large umbrellas. The quality of the fabric and frame seems really nice. A small inconvenience is due to the base not having a solid bottom, if you move the base the sand bags will fall out of the bottom.

It weights about 1.5 lbs, but seems very sturdy. It both extends and opens by pressing the button, and closes by pressing the button again. But after closing it still needs to be shortened manually (with some arm strength). The short strap can function as a hook to hang it with, but it is not long enough to fit a hand through as a wrist strap.

Easy to open and close. Seems like it's pretty durable and well made.

Works great!! Perfect for rainy weather and appears to be durable enough to good up in the wind too! I really like the opening mechanism. It works very well, and isnt like the cheap umbrellas Im used to buying at cvs that break after a few uses.

The umbrella seems a bit heavier than similar ones I have used but also seems to have heavier and stronger components so it should stand up well. The open and close feature works well and is easy to use. Overall, it seems to be a well-made quality item.

Unit came well packaged. very heavy. Easy to assemble as all holes lined-up with bolts. Base is very heavy and not easily moved. Very pleased with design and quality. appears to be very durable.

Very sturdy and strong so it wont have any issues with wind.

Also way bigger than I expected which is great. But its a bit heavier as a result probably. Not an issue for me though!

I really loved this umbrella
It is big , strong, madd from good materials
And heavy duty

Im very happy with this umbrella, so far. The color is perfect for my garden! It was pretty easy to put together, although having two people makes it easier. We filled the base with the sand and water combo so its very stable. Love the design and how it works. Seems well made. Time will tell. two suggestions, 1- the umbrella and base came in separate packages on separate days. That was not in the description so I thought the base was missing when the umbrella arrived first. 2- The instructions that came with it say to fill it with water and sand until it weighs greater than 264lbs. Its a bit confusing.

Needed an option for some shade in a full-sun backyard, but didn't want shade all the time. This is exactly what I needed. Really easy to put together and quick assembly. Now that I also got the weighted umbrella base, I feel comfortable with the umbrella against the wind. Nice fabric and color. Working good so far. Recommend!

Heavy duty base included, added sand and water., should stay put. There are wheels, but once filled not easy to move. Umbrella fabric is a good thickness and is removable if a replacement is needed later on. Also like that the umbrella is vented. Seems to be a good value for the money compared to what we’ve seen.

Umbrella is lovely but did not receive the base for it. So now all the pieces are laying on my patio and cannot put it up. So once i can put umbrella together i can leave a real review. PLEAS SEND ME THE BASE so umbrella laid on the patio for 10 days. After working with customer service they found out that Fed-Ex lot it and shipped another one. Once we finally received and got all set up, I am loving it and it is absolutely serving the purpose. Customer service seemed genuinely concerned and kept in contact every time we had a question. I took a while to get the base, but am absolutely loving it.

1. This is an 11' umbrella, think of it as a sail. Any wind will apply force to the stand. If you did not purchase the base, and fill it with 200+ lbs. of gravel/sand/water, it will tip over. Purchase the umbrella with the base!
2. Some people complained about the base leaking, I would suggest using just gravel/sand, not water. There are 2 openings to add gravel/sand/water. Use the cone shaped cover (it covers where the stand bolts into the base) as a funnel. Pour in the gravel/sand, stopping to distribute the gravel/sand inside the base with your hand. Add a 50 lb. bag of gravel/sand to each side, and then pick up the base on the wheel side allowing the gravel/sand to slide into the "nose" of the base. Add another 50 lb. bag of gravel/sand through each opening. Again stopping to distribute the sand inside the base with your hand. Vacuum the opening thoroughly as the caps will cross thread easily.
3. The umbrella will sway in the wind. This is not a parasol umbrella with a rigid shaft running all the way up. A cantilever umbrella needs to articulate in order to open, and be adjusted. If the wind is severe enough to be a problem, you wouldn't have a regular/parasol umbrella up either.
The umbrella assembles easily, there were no broken, or missing parts. One of the nice things about this umbrella is that the base is narrow, and somewhat mobile. Most cantilever umbrella bases are 36" or more per side, and I have not seen any others that are mobile.
The only minus is the caps on the base easily cross threading.
I have no problem recommending this product.

I assembled by myself. Took about an hour. Pretty easy setup. Would have been easier with a helper, but I got it done. Follow the instructions and do it in order and it's easy. Make sure to assemble where you are going to put it or at least move it to the desired location before adding the sand and water. Once the sand and water are in there it is not easy to move. Definitely a 2 man job. It does have wheels, but it is 300lbs of dead weight. I feel comfortable that it will not blow away. It is very sturdy and provides lots of shade. Easy to put up and down. Is a little more difficult for people shorter than 5'8" I would say. The crank is high.

I've assembled several umbrellas over the years but this one was a breeze. Very well engineered. It's a pain to get the sand and the water in the base but that is not unusual. he molding deign of the plastic base is ingenious and unique. A great feature is it includes wheels to facilitate repositioning of the assembled unit. This is a well-thought-out feature and very useful. Be advised that the cross bar mounts for the base, which includes the wheels and axle are in the umbrella box, not the base box. The umbrella and the base ship separately. I highly recommend this unit. You will need a helper to pick up the assembled umbrella to slide it onto the post attached to the base, because it is heavy and awkward to maneuver. (at least for a 71-year old) But that will only take a few seconds to line up and secure. A great product with responsive customer service.
