I can't in good conscious recommend this product. I got this July 6th and have put it up on some of these sunny Michigan days. 4 times now this umbrella has tipped over. I have dogs and a child so this presents the issue that someone could have an umbrella fall on them. I wanted to return it, but the shipping to send back is about $25, plus I'd have to purchase a box that will accommodate the umbrella and stand because the one it came in already went out with the recycling pick up. 

Aside from the safety concerns, the umbrella arrived quickly and in great condition, it looks fabulous, easy assembly (15-ish min with just 1 person), blocks sun very well. Just wish the stand was a more heavy duty and had better balance.
