I was tired of umbrellas that were too small and I had to move with a heavy base every time the sun moved! These cantilevered umbrellas cover my entire lounge area and rotate to anyplace that I need it! A simple turn of the crank and the umbrella turns 360 degrees and also will tilt up and down its great for the rainstorms too so I dont have to drag in my comfy beanbags each afternoon in the rainy season! The customer service is great too and they got right back to me when I had a question. all I had to do was text. By far these umbrellas (I bought 2) will make my summer much more relaxing and makes my hot backyard a place where everyone will want to be. My son already comes out and hangs out during his zoom class breaks! The hot sun can be draining and these umbrellas are a life changer for our family. I currently have pavers holding them down, but will drill them to the porch and stake them into the ground when we know exactly where we need them. They flow with the wind, floating as they arent hanging on a rigid arm. the wind goes through the top so they literally go with the flow. Super easy even for just me to put up alone. And I weigh under 110lbs! I just used a low table to lift up the umbrella to slip over the base. Yes, a second person could help, but if you have some strength its not a difficult task. I cant think of anything I would change maybe if they made an umbrella cover for storage or if not needed all the time. to protect it from the sun when not in use. But with a little sewing experience anyone could make one out of a tarp so glad I not the bullet and bought two no more umbrellas that I find blown off their standing or panic that its going to rain and I have things left out. Great deal, sturdy, easy to set up. 4 /16 Pavers work as base
Worth the price, peace of mind
