Great parasol. I have one gripe with this and that is how you lock the rotation of the main pole. It has 2 tighten turn pegs on the main post to stop it from being blown around. These you must tighten so much that it hurts your hands doing it. It needs more leverage really. It is not something you need to do often but when you do it’s annoying. However the mechanism for opening and closing is good and it had great coverage. It also has a sturdy base but remember to buy 2 sets of 2 weights which are purchased separately! It’s waterproof and holds up in rainy and windy weather too.
