PLEASE for your own sake, take the warning from others---we had this umbrella for 3 days and there was already stress marks on the arm that pushes out the umbrella.  The stand does NOT stand on its own---VERY top heavy!  I know you get what you pay for---and for $130, it looks like a great deal---but it's very cheap.  So disappointed!  We were really hoping this would work on our deck.
