The extension pole only goes in a couple inches and the "push button" is plastic and does not hold the pole well enough to keep the umbrella from falling out. Maybe if there is absolutely no wind, it may stay, but we could not get it to stay locked in long enough to find out. We returned it with no problems, but was without an umbrella for the day. I also feel like the screw in tip could be very dangerous if the umbrella happens to fly out.

The umbrella itself is great. However, the screw at the bottom that goes into the sand needs to be larger because on a windy day it does not hold in the sand. Also, the fold down handles that help you to screw it into the sand need to be stronger. Once you hit a certain depth and the sand is hard packed, the handles bend and feel like they will break off.

I returned already 1 and im about to return the second one. The button is stiff and very hard to push and there is thread coming out of all the seams around the umbrella

it’s a gorgeous umbrella, really easy to use and set up. HOWEVERRRR i wish this would’ve come with those weighted sacs you fill with sand for the umbrella. it wouldn’t stop falling over and even flew away at one point (which idk how bc we put it deep into the sand). this is my first beach umbrella so its probably user error but i do still believe it could’ve come with a sand bag. i ended up attaching it to my beach wagon and it got all scratched up bc of the wind :(

Good price for screw in ground/sand beach umbrella. We haven’t tried it in the sand at beach but screwed into mulch and ground to shade plants we have. It would easily screw into sand but not sure how well it would do in windy situations. But for the price, worth a shot.

Great beach umbrella, 8’ nice well built and provided plenty of shade at the beach, just digs down little deeper before screwed down the anchor screw then it’s good to go for a strong beach wind sometime.

I had high hopes for this beach umbrella because it appeared to be of decent quality and very sturdy. It barely lasted a few hours at the beach before a wind gust flipped it up and snapped a couple of ribs at the point where they attach to the shaft. Thus, I cannot recommend this product.

We chose the Red White and Blue striped model and love it. We actually purchased two for a group of 7 of us. The screw bottom worked effortlessly to secure it into the beach sand. One day was a little winding but both held up great. Very happy for our purchase.

This is one of the best beach umbrellas we have purchased worth the money didn't blow away under high winds

Took to the beach and it was easy to set up and was just as sturdy as the ones renting for 200 a week
