Revised review: Pretty flimsy! My fault for not waiting more than a few days before writing a review. On the first moderately breezy day (not windy or stormy, mind you), the umbrella--which was closed--base, and table blew over. I now know that when the forecast calls for a breezy summer day, I have to remove the umbrella from the base, lest it fall on my head while I'm sitting there reading.
