I received the product a couple of days ago and got around too putting it together today after work... Assembly time about 30 min with extremely basic instructions... Pictures only with no wording so deciphering the instructions was approx. 15 min and actual assembly 15 min... Now getting too the review, love the product and it as big or bigger then I imagined... Love how beefy the support beams and its looks and act as the price tag indicates... I ordered Cantilever Offset Umbrella Base Weights as well, thank goodness because you couldn't use the Cantilever Umbrella without the weighted base... worth the money unless you are screwing it down to your patio, deck etc... Caution there is a lot of torch at the base so if fastening ensure you lag it, or use support under the deck.... weighted base works excellent and its mobile as the sun moves you adjust the Umbrella accordingly.... Love it Happy Wayfair Customer
