Well built. Just buy it. Make sure you buy the heavy duty base.

I love this umbrella! It is very well made and sturdy. It looks expensive, as well. The turquoise and ivory color, which is what I chose, looks great with my beach themed cushions and pillows. I liked the first one so well, I bought a second one!

Didn’t realize I would not be tall enough to open it. Will either give to family or try to have pole cut shorter.
