Its a beautiful umbrella but if you live in a windy area, make sure it is anchored. I used 100 lb weights and it still tipped over. I put on more weights and while it held, the umbrella piece is a hanging down by a connector, so the wind caused it to whip around. I had to return it because I was afraid that over time it would rip to shreds. If you place this in a patio area that is protected from wind, it is absolutely beautiful.
