This umbrella was advertised as a store display so my expectations weren't set as high as if it were new.  Sadly when it arrived the box looked as if it had been through a war zone (no packing slip as well).  I bought a 40 lb. weighted umbrella stand (recommended to me by a Lowes manager, they also carry this company's products).  The umbrella fit perfectly in the stand but refused to remain still (blows in circles ... honestly like being under the big top at a circus or something lol)  because it blows in circles it moves ... yep it actually moves a 40 lb stand and another 40 ish lbs of the umbrella.  Hubby has to drill a few lag bolts in to keep it from walking off the deck. lol
