This umbrella was exactly what we were looking for.  The 10.5' umbrella gives a lot of shade on our hot Houston afternoons and the solar powered lights are a nice touch for evening use.  The weight of the umbrella will require that you weigh the base down so prior to use you need to purchase the pre-made weights or go to your local hardware store and purchase four large pavers.  We have had three storms since we purchased this umbrella and it has not blown over in the wind...just be sure you always put it down when not in use.
