Beautiful umbrella. Larger than expected and seems like it will be great for the space once it finally warms up. I did have some issues with the assembly. The instructions listed four bolts in one section and three in another (for installing base). I found it humorous but some might find it frustrating. There were a few extra parts included (smaller bolts, a spring pin, etc) so realize that as well. Assembly was easy, especially with another hand. 

I however, have no idea how the umbrella would not topple over without something on the base. The umbrella is very large and the weight distribution just does not support it without something heavy on the base to compensate.

Otherwise it's a great deal and looks really nice.
