This umbrella is amazing!! It rotates so as the sun rises you can stay in the shade, and it tilts! Additionally, the fabric is uva/uvb resistant which is very important for me. It says it comes with sand bags, but really it comes with bags for the sand that you just purchase elsewhere...I read the description  so I was not surprised by this. It has been extremely sturdy in the colorado wind...my parent saw it, and now have two in their cart!
