The cantilever is very nice, the product overall is good, however I bought it because it had a base with it.  When I received the umbrella there wasn't a base.  This made the umbrella unusable. I called Wayfair and they discounted the umbrella and told me which base I needed to purchase to have a usable umbrella.  It has been a few weeks trying to get this product to work, but Wayfair has been very helpful.
