This umbrella is what we just need by our pool! However, the canopy cannot stop swaying even with the tiniest breezes, despite the fact that we also purchased weighted stand separately. We followed all instructions, assembled step by step and still are not sure why our umbrella sways non-stopped whenever there’s wind. We looked around our neighbors’ backyard and none of their umbrellas moved. Customer service couldn’t find out why for us, either and we already threw the box away so don’t think return is an option...
Other than that, it’s a beautiful umbrella that gives very good size shade.
