This product arrived very quickly. It was very easy to put together and work wonderfully. I bought some pretty pavers to help weight it down and they work wonderfully. I will say if there is the slightest wind it will blow all over so you must pay attention when you have it open. Its very easy to open and close and when its open it provides great shade. One negative is the umbrella seems to unwind as its open causing it to become slightly unattached to the top stabilizer. I will purchase some Velcro tap to keep the crank from turning but other then that its great specially for the price.
