I bought about a month ago. It has a nice sturdy pole (its metal) and a crank to put up and down. The umbrella material is thick and blocks out quite a bit of the sun.

This umbrella is a gorgeous red color. Be prepared, it is quite heavy - which makes it very substantial. It hasn't been tested for wind or rain as yet, but I am hopeful it will be as good or better than others that are comparable. Very satisfied.

I have not had the chance to use it yet as I'm waiting for the base to arrive. I gave it 5 stars because it arrived without damage, it appears to be well made & is of good size. I will be purchasing a cover to protect it while not in use.

Purchased a much more expensive umbrella before this one and it snapped in half! No winds nothing just broke. Hence I purchased this one as a replacement, much less expensive and sturdier...love the look and mostly the quality.

I love these umbrellas with Sunbrella fabric. I have purchased these on three occasions and they last for years without the fabric fading or dry rotting.

A really nice stand alone umbrella. You can't go wrong with the Sunbrella brand! Weather proof, sun proof, and looks great, all at an affordable cost! Thanks Sams!

Highly functional, well made and durable. This is our second purchase of this umbrella and the first is still in service after three years. Both look great.

I loved this umbrella - beautiful color, easy to use, until it tipped over in a small gust. It wasn?t windy, just a little gust. The other two umbrellas we had remained standing. We had it in a 60 lb stand. When it fell it bent the thin metal pole so that it can?t be raised or lowered anymore. Bummer

First let me say that there isn't an umbrella out there that doesn't fall over in the wind. It's very windy where we live and we have gone through at least 5 in the last three years. The umbrella itself is fantastic! The best part is the self-tilt. You just keep cranking and it tilts on its own. No reaching or buttons to push. Love it! We realized (finally) the problem was with the stand. We now have a heavy metal stand that's around 35 lbs. Amazon sells these round or square bags that you fill with sand and put on top of the stand. So that adds another 30-40 lbs.

We purchased this late in 2017. Before the end of the season, a pin at the to(holding one of the umbrella arms) fell out. The first time that we used it this year, 5 or more fell out and the umbrella is useless! I'll be seeing if Sam's will provide an exchange.
