I shopped around quite a bit before deciding on this umbrella, and Im so glad I opted to pony up the extra money. I honestly cant imagine a more solidly manufactured patio umbrella than this one. My overarching concern while shopping around was trying to find the best quality for the best price, and I ultimately had concern that with patio umbrellas you probably get what you pay for. I have all confidence after having this one up for a couple of weeks that I will have this for several years, as the material and construction is top notch. Definitely needed the base weights, which I bought separately (the 250lb version), as it wouldnt really stand up on its own otherwise. But with the base weights it seems solid, even in relatively moderate breezes.
Solid, all around Solid
