This is the biggest piece of garbage on earth. We noticed how horrible the quality was the instant we opened the box. We put two of them up yesterday exactly how described… a mix of water and sand in the base. Both of them blew over into our pool this morning. There is no real wind happening here today. It is 102 degrees with a breeze that could rival blowing out a candle. The base is wayyyyyy too small for an umbrella of this size. Unfortunately I bought these back in may when we first bought the house. Now we are finally moving in and I just opened the box yesterday so I have missed Wayfair’s annoying 30 day return window and am stuck with umbrellas that are going straight to the dump. BUYER BEWARE.
