For all the people complaining about ANY umbrella not being secure and toppling over - You HAVE TO HAVE it WEIGHED DOWN. PERIOD. 

That being said... Oh My Goodness.. This umbrella is AMAZING. I really did a lot of research trying to find the best deal.. I wanted something that came with its own weights but was also the cantilever style. This one seemed like the best deal so I got it. I will say that the sandbags that come with it arent the classiest looking but theyre not trashy looking either. Theyre just a nice, simple way to keep it weighted until I find some weights that I like. The openingclosing mechanism is soooo smooth and easy. I seriously love this umbrella so much.
