Umbrella is so easy to put together. I've only had it a few days, but great so far. 

BEWARE THOUGH - IT WILL FALL. I give it 5 stars because it works great and is easy to put together. But please beware the umbrella will fall over as it's top heavy. Three legs are the same length while the last leg which is at the back of the umbrella, is half the size of the others. The manufacturer really needs to fix that and make that leg the same length and weigh that thing down naturally. What I did because I happen to have massive stones left over from patio renovation, I place the stones on every single leg to ensure that the umbrella will not fall over when I open it. When you open this thing all the way and it extends all the way out it's going to automatically fall over whether you wanted to or not please be aware
