I love this umbrella.  It does need a heavy stand that requires an extra purchase.  Don't go cheap because your umbrella will blow away or fall down and break.   The LED lights are wonderful and add just that extra little light to enjoy the night.  Only reason for not giving 5 stars is the fact that it cannot bend to accommodate the sun movement.   Since the base is so heavy, it is tough to move around.   However, I think the price is perfect for the product and we are very pleased with the purchase.
