After having so many patio umbrellas damaged from the constant wind in this area, this one is a breath of fresh air. The vented top will hopefully help keep this one around for the long run. The covering material is of decent weight. It's not overly thin, but do feel that it could be a bit thicker. I really like the nostalgic striped pattern as well. I think the only knock I would give is that the base holding the pole looks a bit unfinished. That's not a problem since I already have an existing one under my patio table that I can reuse, but might be a concern if I was starting fresh.

poor design and not sturdy of you have ANY wind. I'm surprised it's not recalled because of the pointed screw end tip. the upper pole only goes in approximately 2 to 3 inches, which makes it easy to bend or come out. The push button mechanism did not catch easily and would still literally pop out of the pole if any decent breeze blew. we had several people trying to see if it was just user error.. but it was not latching. Thankfully some families nearby had extra umbrellas for us to use, so we would have some type of shade.

Quality Product! Easy to set up and light weight. This was a GREAT find at an even GREATER price!

It was very durable on a windy day at the beach. I would recommend this purchase.

Love umbrella, love the price in the quality

The price was great! These are a perfect size for the beach.

Any kind of wind and it’s done

You get what you pay for. It broke with first use on the beach. Very disappointed.

This is a nice looking, large beach umbrella. I was initially very pleased with it. However, I got a terrible sunburn after spending a few hours under it on the beach. It has no lining, and I do not believe its claims of SPF are accurate. Be aware, and don’t forget to use sunscreen while using it.

Great sturdy umbrella. Just used in Florida and it held up well! The only complaint I have is that Sam's didn't send me the one I ordered. I ordered the "Ombre" and they sent me the "Floral". I ended up liking it, but they should have sent the correct one. Otherwise it did everything a beach umbrella should do!
