Its a big, quality umbrella that provides a lot of shade. Works well but there are reasons for the 3 stars instead of 5
1. Once the base is filled with sand, its obviously very heavy. The base is a black plastic material and gets soft in the hot sun, making it difficult to move into position, especially with the design of the wheel assembly. That base should be more rigid, in my opinion, considering the price point.
2. There is a sharp metal edge under the front side of the base which, once weighted, put deep scratches into my engineered deck. I was able to wrap the sharp section in thick rubber now but the damage has already been done - be careful!
