I've not had a chance to monitor it over a period of time but my first impressions are very positive. I bought the red version and I would say that the product is true to the image and description on the website. I have secured mine with double paving slabs cut to form a diamond shape. The front of the base does protrude beyond the edge of the slabs which could, in some cases, present a trip hazard but I guess it's necessary to maintain stability in the wind.
It seems easy to operate and looks really good when fully open. It can also be retracted so that the closed parasol hangs just in front of the stand.
