We paired this red umbrella with the Rectangular 8 - Person 82" Long Dining Set we also purchased on Wayfair. Assembly was a breeze and the lights work so well from dusk into the night. They offer just enough light with it being too much. I love the little light switch and the solar panels on the top. It's great to not have to worry about a cord. The crank is easy and the safety bar is a smart addition so the umbrella doesn't slide down throughout the day. This thing is HUGE and HEAVY. Exactly what we wanted to cover an 8 person outdoor table. We did buy three 50 lb sand bags to place in the base of the umbrella. We've had no issues whatsoever with sturdiness. Highly recommend!
