Umbrella is great, but there isn't a locking mechanism where the two poles attach. Had to hook a bungee cord to the cooler to keep the wind from blowing the umbrella away the firsttimeI used it. Will have to drill a hole through the top pole so a pin can be inserted. Previous version had a compression clamp, not sure if i am missing a part or the new version doesn't come with it. Not a good design for something to be used on a breezy beach as it lifts out very easily..

I bought one last year and my friend who does beach fishing was so impressed that I tried to get him one online but they were out of stock. As soon as I saw them back last month I had one sent. The pole is very sturdy definitely not a cheap beach shop umbrella. You won’t be disappointed. I’m thinking about getting a spare

Ordered 2 of these the beginning of this month. We have owned a few of these over the last 10 plus years originally for the beach except now use them tied to one side of our pool fence for some shade. These are the best umbrellas from Sams. So glad they still sell them.

Good Value, heavy construction, better for windy beaches where cheap umbrellas collapse.

So tight you can’t push it up, hurt myself beware!

Best umbrella. Great quality and withstands strong wind!

Great umbrella, purchased for a beach vacation and glad I did! Very sturdy held up to windy days and was bigger than other ones I was considering.

I had 2 of these that were 15 years old and they finally broke on me. The new ones are just the same as the old.

Great product. Lightweight, sturdy and creates a large shade. Big enough for two adults and a child. Recommend with the Digit shovel/ anchor.

Larger than expected. Bright, bold colors. Wish I would have bought a stand. Doesnt push into grass well.
