We purchased the umbrella to cover our outdoor dining table. The umbrella looks great and provides ample coverage. But unfortunately there was a rip in the seams.  In further inspection, the quality of the fabric is not as goodthick as Sunbrella so I doubt it will last very long in the hot Southern California summers. Also note that the pole diameter is 2 inches so many standard bases will not fit. I had to purchase another base rather than using an existing one to accommodate the thicker pole. Lastly as others have mentioned it does tilt to one side if you use it as a stand alone and with strong winds, it will spin. 

The umbrella was easy to put together, open and functions as expected. The size is great for our patio table and makes the area very pleasant to sit.
