Purchased this umbrella to shade my east facing windows in the summer.  Size and fabric thickness are as described.    The biggest challenge was finding a proper base, the recommended 150 to support the size.  Those located were several hundred dollars.  I found a perfect solution, shown in photo for less than 100 total and it looks fantastic.  This sucker ain’t going anywhere!   Winds have reached 20 mph here in Texas since I’ve had it up. Performs well although higher winds than that, I won’t leave it up.  I’m worried about sun fading over time. I read Scotchguard has a UV protectant so have sprayed it down.   Here’s hoping…..

The only negative thing I can say is as the umbrella reaches full extension, it’s a little hard to crank the rest of the way but entirely doable.
