Purchased this umbrella in blue 4 years ago. In have never taken it inside for the winter. It still looks as good today as the day I purchased it. The color never faded and it gives a lot of shade. The perfect umbrella for your patio.

I bought the umbrella through the catalog because I wanted to avoid going to the store out of concerns for Covid-19 (I'm part of the susceptible population). When I arrived to the store, they brought the umbrella to my car, but without the foot (or pedestal) shown in the picture. The employee told me that if I wanted the foot, I had to go inside the store and buy it, which I had to do and pay an extra $50. At the end, I had to take the risk and go to the store to buy the foot. I would suggest the catalog quotes the correct price, including the foot, or indicate that the foot is not included. Other than that, the umbrella is pretty good.

I was very disappointed when I received this umbrella. There is no base included, even though the picture shows the umbrella in a base. Now, not only do I have to purchase a base, Sam's online does not have a base in stock online. I have an umbrella and no base.

This umbrella does not come with the stand/base, despite the presence of one in the photo online. Furthermore, the online product description does not mention the base one way or another. Then, upon opening the bag, the paperwork inside states (in bold, capital letters, and underlined): MUST USE WITH AN UMBRELLA BASE, SOLD SEPARATELY. This information certainly would have been nice to know ahead of time, and could have simply been stated in the online product description. Otherwise, the umbrella seems very nice, and good quality.

This is a gorgeous umbrella! I received one of these for Mother's Day 2018 and I absolutely loved it! However I have only had it 2 weeks, and it is already broken. We had it set up with the 55 lb cement base (sold separately) and through the center of our heavy deck table. I left it open yesterday afternoon (wasn't expecting any bad weather.) Left to go to the store and came back... apparently a gust of wind (which didn't move any of the rafts laying on my deck by the way), flipped it and the patio table over and into my pool. It bent and twisted off the aluminum support pole so that is now useless. Very disappointed!

I bought this a week ago and the umbrella is being put to good use. I would recommend this any day. Umbrella is solid quality. But a word of caution - the product picture is misleading. Umbrella does NOT include the base shown in the picture. The base is an additional $49 so I took a star away. This may be okay if you're planning to prop up in the center of a table. But this will not stand up independently without the base.

mechanism seems good but if you're interested in blocking sunlight, this is too thin.

These do not withstand much wind at all. We ordered two and both broke from blowing over.

The plastic bars and joints in the umbrella are not strong enough. It snapped in the wind.

This patio umbrella is a great size for our patio and the quality is fantastic. The tilt feature is a plus!
