Beautiful parasol which we bought to accompany our recent new patio furniture. Excellent quality material for umbrella.  The parasol is  large and ample for our nine seater dining set- easy to manoeuvre up and down. It would blow over very easily but I was aware of this as many other reviews had mentioned.  Therefore base weights are needed in my opinion and so although this is excellent value for money, one needs to factor in the cost of the base weights also as they are not cheap! Nevertheless I am extremely pleased with my purchase and look forward to getting lots of use from it over the coming summer months.
