I new I was purchasing a lower quality item, you get what you pay for. I have had only 7 months, and one with very little rain and now this umbrella has already broken due to the sub par quality of the metal used. A joint pin/connection bracket has rusted out and now the umbrella is unusable. Save your money and purchase a better quality. Now I have to try to find a way to discard this junk.

Overall very cheap, but you also get what you pay for. Don't buy the suggested bases on this page since they don't actually work for this product. We have a paver patio that we have it rested on and throw two bags of crushed gravel on it to make it stay down. Overall works, but looks horrible.

The base won’t hold up the umbrella. Ok for the money, but get what you pay for here. It’s not a steal. There is a reason it’s cheaper than the other ones you see.

Easy to assemble. Took only one person. Great coverage and shade. Very sturdy and flexes with a good wind very well.

Looks great. If it's a windy day this are not sturdy. The wind will wave like a flag
