The umbrella is nice enough but here is the problem: on the web listing it Is states several times in several ways, "sandbags included" "No additional umbrella stand purchase"  This is in fact not true.  It does not come with sandbags.  You need to buy 200 pounds of sand separately.  Canvas bags are included into which you can pour sand from sandbags.  You cannot even put sandbags into the canvas bags because the openings are too small.  You have to pour sand from your sandbags into the canvas bags.  The umbrella can not stand on it's own without the sand, even with no wind at all.  So when you receive it and get all  excited to try it out you have to wait until you can get to the store to buy sand.
