I received the umbrella with the base today and did set it up. It took us maybe 15 minutes to do it, including the unpacking. The delivery was quick and on time, as scheduled. The base is very solid. The umbrella colour is as advertised. The size seems to be just right for our small backyard table. There were no instructions how to set up the umbrella, but it was no brainer, very straight forward. I only wish that there would be a strap to hold the umbrella while closed. We used a bungee cord. Worked for us. I need to see how it will be in use, but so far so good.
