I love my umbrella. It didn’t take too long to put together. It covers so much of my deck with shade and it’s super sturdy. It’s also very easy for me to move up and down into place and crank open. I have had many gazebos fly away so I filled the weights with water, and also added 4 bags of sand and some heavy hand weights for a total of 322 lbs. We had some gusts, the umbrella moved slightly but the stand didn’t budge at all. It’s a beautiful gray and I’m very happy with it.
