We love our purchase. - the umbrella is exactly as pictured and is beautiful!  It came within 2 days of being ordered. 

It is sturdy, good quality, easy to build (with one person) and manipulate (openclose umbrella and closing entire unit).  

It does require something to secure the base to the ground - we cannot drill into our ground surface, but we are using a simple sandbag to keep it up until we can get a proper stabilizer.
