This lighted umbrella is wonderful! It is sturdy, vibrant and is a wonderful addition to our octagon table. The light is bright and adds a warmth to the area. I had to replace my last one as we had very high winds which bent the entire umbrella in half. This replacement should be able to withstand given the base appears to be stronger then the previous. I am very happy with this purchase and look forward to purchasing two more for the other areas outside.
