So far so good! I love how you can rotate and tilt this umbrella to follow the sun all day long! And the fact it comes with sandbags was helpful so we didnât have to buy a base for . Sand is pretty cheap, takes 4-5 50LB bags which only costs about 20-25. Thereâs also a genius cover for the umbrella that supports us short people! It has a string on the zipper and a pole inside to help lift the cover off the umbrella. What a nice touch!
