I was under the impression that this umbrella could withstand a slight breeze. I expected the umbrella to move slightly with the breeze and the pole to not move at all. Needless to say, I was wrong. The umbrella itself flies all over the place and the pole rotates completely in the stand. The assembly directions were followed perfectly but one SLIGHT breeze sent the whole thing slamming into the house and the umbrella was stuck at a 45 degree angle in the outdoor flood light! When I got the umbrella out of the light, I noticed that one of the poles came through the fabric. Now I get to purchase a whole new light and this item can only be used if there is absolutely no wind whatsoever. My favorite part of it now is the staples holding the fabric over the pole. It’s too big and heavy to try and send back and I’m completely unmotivated to take it down after how long it took to assemble. Now it’s going to sit where it is until I purchase a new one from a different company.
