Provides a lot of shades. Looks great on my patio. Very study umbrella. Easy to put together. Need help with the base.. add sand & H2O

I've had this umbrella for a couple of months now. Easy to bring up and down. Because of the rectangular shape, I have to open it away from the seats then spin it over the chairs. Otherwise it would hit the chairs when opening it. If you can't do that you might consider an octagon shape or whether you can easily move the chairs out of the way before opening and closing.

Bought this and after about 2 weeks of use one of the supports for the umbrella broke. It was a breezy day but I would have expected this to hold up a little better wish I could disassembled and return however the stand supports are already filled with sand and water. Bottom line shop around for better quality.

Easy to assemble and the cover is great. Filling the base with the sand and water mix is tedious, but effective. Right after I put up the umbrella we had gusty winds and that thing didn't move! Things to consider before purchasing: the base has an enormous footprint. It also requires quite a bit of space to open and close. Also, the tilting feature works best when the umbrella is on the west side, then you can tilt it as the sun goes down to provide continuous shade.

Very nice and big. Easy to adjust

Purchased a month ago and we love all the features. Its huge...quality made and with the ability to rotate it...You cannot beat the price or the 100% money back guarantee!

I love this, but setting up was difficult. The directions recommend 220 pounds of sand between the 4 base pieces. The hole is too small for filling and you can't get 50 pounds into two of the pieces, and you can only get about 55 poiunds into the remaining two. I made a makeshift funnel. The end result was really nice, though and it is being well enjoyed.

We had been shopping for a larger cantilever umbrella and found this one on the Sam's website. We had previously purchased patio furniture from Sam's as and knew the quality of their products would meet our expectations. The umbrella took maybe 30 minutes to assemble. The longest part of the project was filling the base with sand & water. It wasn't difficult, just time consuming. The trick is to open the bag of sand and let it dry out so that it is easier to pour. So far, we have not had an issue with wind blowing it over. The base is big but isn't an issue as we have a large patio area which needed additional shade.

Received the unbrella. In great shape but the crank was turning the opposite way and it would not lock into position. Contacted Sams and they contacted the company. The company then contacted us and sent out a whole new umbrella. We packed up the old one and Sams arranged a pickup for us. So far we really like the umbrella. We have it over the corner of our pool and it provides a lot of shade for those who do not want sun but want to be in the pool. We had a cheaper one that lasted a year but this seems much more promising. Love that it is sunbrella material.

Product is exactly as described. The toughest part (as outlined by many in reviews) is the time it takes to fill the base with sand and water ... yet it's the most important part of the entire umbrella as it's what keeps it from falling over. This is not for the weak as sand is heavy enough, add water to an odd/awkward shaped base and it becomes an exercise in physical dexterity and strength. But spend the time, build it right and you'll have a very stable base that holds the umbrella in place with 15 to 18 MPH gusts ... something none of our other umbrella systems were ever capable of.
