The umbrella itself is nice and seems sturdy. Unfortunately, it did not fit in the base it comes with. I’ve seen some reviews say that their umbrella didn’t come with a base, and a few others say that the umbrella didn’t fit in the base. I even looked up an instruction video that shows how to put the base together, and I feel confident that I’m not doing anything wrong. The umbrella is supposed to fit in what is labeled part C in the instructions, and it simply does not. You can remove the inside part of part C, and the umbrella will fit, but then it has too much room to move around and is not stable, even if you tighten the screws all the way. Luckily, we were able to use the umbrella with  an old base that we already had, and it looks very nice.
