First off Wayfair says it does not come with a stand, it does come with a stand. I ordered a secondary stand with the umbrella thinking I would need it, waste of money. Next Umbrella is very nice. Problem is the stand included will not support it without tipping over, additionally I tried it using the secondary stand we purchased, one of the heaviest available on here at 68Lbs., that stand also would not keep it from tipping over once fully extended and open. At this point this item is worthless to me and Wayfair is going to charge me almost half what I paid for everything, in shipping, to return them. I guess I will be getting some ugly sand bags to re-enforce
