The umbrella is SO NICE. It was relatively easy to put together, we just had to play with the height a little bit. We ended up anchoring it to the deck because it is definitely top heavy and wanted to fall over even though it has a pretty big base (no weight like most standard outdoor umbrellas) so that’s something to think about. Looks wonderful and we can’t wait to enjoy it! (It was super windy today so it was hard to get a good photo with it all the way open.
