A decent overall umbrella.  The instructions were for a different base - but it was not too difficult to figure it out on my own.  The umbrella does not come with weights for the stand (I used a pile of garden rocks that I happened to have).  The umbrella has already been through a few very windy days, and I would say that as long as you have the umbrella closed and tied (it comes with two ties), and the arm in the lowest position - that it will survive quite well.
