11 Ft Round Aluminum Offset Umbrella Outdoor Cantilever Umbrella

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.

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.

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.

In all fairness I shouldn't have tried putting this together alone and in the rain. I shouldn't have tried either of those things. But try them I did and I eventually got it done, and wound up with a big umbrella that I can aim at the sun to keep me out of it.

After adding five bags of sand and some water, the base is solid and won't move unless I try real hard. But even without the added weight, it made it through several thunderstorms and one minor hurricane without budging. I do keep it zipped up in the cover (not included, which is what cost a star) when it's not in use, which I'm sure helps keep it from turning from an umbrella into a sail.

It looks nice, is easy to use, feels solid, and does its one job well. What's not to like? Oh yeah, not including the cover, which is an essential add-on that really should have been included.
