Easy to ensemble and looks good, but the base does not seem 'heavy and secure' enough for when the umbrella is fully open flat.  Even without wind when opened flat it starts tipping over!  This base needed to come with weights...the base is light and flimsy.  I understand during high winds and such the base will need to be weighted but for regular use that should not be the case.  I did refer to the Q&A about this exact issue before purchasing.  Sooo, I do not feel confident having the umbrella fully open (as in the above picture without weights; which frankly are not pretty)...which defeats the purpose of the purchase.
