looks great but where is the tool to twist the pole into the sand??? Husband said we will use a screwdriver. the last member's mark umbrella we bought had a metal rod that was attached by a lightweight chain to insert into the pole and twist the umbrella into the sand to properly anchor it, sadly this one does not. hope it holds up as well as the last one we had for over 20 years.

I’m not usually one to leave a review but I feel compelled to warn others about this dangerous umbrella. I was happy to find such a pretty beach umbrella for such a great price. Unfortunately, it has a very thin aluminum pole and the first gust of wind caused the pole to snap completely in half. The bottom half of the newly serrated pole stayed in the sand right beside my two year old daughter, and the top half went flying down the beach, Lucky for everyone in its path, nobody was taken out or cut from the jagged twisted metal. Scary stuff. Sounds cliche but you get what you pay for. Get an umbrella with a wooden or a thick plastic pole.

I bought this umbrella 18 years ago at the Sams club in Medford. I have used it ever summer since. I finally got rid of it last year because it was faded from being stored In the basement. This is by far the best umbrella which has withstood many windy days and still functioned like the first day I bought it. Definitely a great buy. I just bought my second one in 20 years.

Umbrella is light weight and very durable

This umbrella is a great size and excellent quality!

This is my 5th umbrella and we use them every day at the beach and pool. They last forever!

Use this every weekend at the beach and was a great investment as I need lots of shade

Great umbrella . Happy with it!

Better quality than expected.

Glad I purchased these umbrellas, makes a festive look
