The top part of the umbrella is difficult to slide over the pedestal rod. The pedestal brackets too narrow to hold standard pavers, had to chip the corners to fit. This umbrella is unsuitable for breezy locations and needs to be folded down and secured with ties.
The fabric seems to be of good material and the 10' diameter provides ample shade. The umbrella is also difficult to take apart for winter storage. Overall a good buy for the price.
