Cleaver! Sand post hidden inside.   Everything fits nicely into carry case which is sturdy.  Cup holders are well made and hold cans as well as cups even insulated mugs.  We did make longer sand spikes for higher winds but the ones with the umbrella work well if there are not high winds.  The umbrella works well on my deck and in my yard.  It was a big hit at the family reunion---everyone wanted the shade!
