I specifically bought this umbrella because it says it's 108" tall and I needed to have clearance over my french doors. Well, it's only 98" tall.....that's 10" shorter than it says. It's way too short to put up against my french doors....totally useless. So disappointed in wayfair. To make matters worse, the matching base that I purchased here is also defective....the pole is lopsided....so now I'm stuck with an expensive, too short, lopsided umbrella that I can not even use because it's sooo lopsided, it falls over.
