I should have bought locally to better get a feel for what I was buying. As everyone else says, falls over very easy. Luckily my patio has brick, in the process tonight of pulling up some bricks and sinking a pipe into the ground to make it free standing...so will make it work. The box was also delivered broken open and some of the mounting screws were missing, not the fault of the the maker but still frustrating it wasn't secured better.
