For the price, this is a very nice umbrella. It was extremely easy to assemble and covers my area quite nicely. It does not come with weights to hold it down, but since I am using it on my deck, I just attached the support pole to the deck railing and the umbrella can't tip over or move from it's position. Be aware that this type of umbrella is not good for wind, unless it is held in position by supports. Mine is working great and looks good, too!
