Purchased last week. it had been on sale so grabbed. will still advise to get if you need. used it today and the auger worked great in the sand. was very windy today (Belmar beach, in NJ). Gives great coverage area. Definitely noticed a difference when i took down to go home how hot it had actually been outside.

The handles are made of plastic so those will break easily. It was a little windy at the beach, nothing crazy and I had to hold it in the sand to keep it from blowing away, the air vents didn’t let enough wind pass through. It’s ok at best.

The Member's Mark Beach Umbrella is light weight and large enough to provide ample shade for multiple people. The umbrella is lightweight and would be easy to transport. The umbrella also comes with a sand screw that help to anchor and provide stability from the ocean breeze.

Got this on sale from last summer season clearance! Best $15 ever!! Its good quality and sturdy and quality looks more expensive than it is and its a big umbrella but light weight. I ordered a 2nd one! For that price for sure!! Could not pass it up!

Very nice umbrella. Last year while at the Gulf of America I went to the Pensacola Sam’s and bought the Nautica umbrella they had. Before our trip this year I bought 2 of these Member’s Mark umbrellas. They are much nicer than any beach umbrella I’ve bought before. They’re sturdy and built with quality materials. Don’t second guess them based on the cheaper price. This isn’t one of those get what you pay for situations

Bought 3 of these. One was missing the retention pin right out of the bag so it was unusable. The second umbrella broke the 3rd day. The plastic handles used to drive the umbrella into the ground shifted. This meant we could get the two halves of the umbrella together but it took a great deal of effort to get them apart. In all instances, these things are worthless in anything above a slight breeze. Any minor wind (say 3mph) like you find at most beaches causes these to wobble like crazy. They eventually work their way loose and start leaning badly and there's real concern they could become completely dislodged. Note, no one else's umbrella around us was even budging. I'm returning these asap.

This beach umbrella offers excellent sun protection, easily covering up to five people, making it a great choice for families or groups. The standout feature is its screw-in design, which secures the umbrella firmly into the sand, providing stability even on windy days-a huge plus compared to traditional beach umbrellas that may struggle with gusts. The only con I can think of is a Little Bulky for a few hours on the beach. While easy to transport with the carry bag, it may feel too large to justify taking for a brief visit, like a couple of hours at the beach.

I love this umbrella! I'd say buy it well before you go to the beach, use it all summer, and expect to replace it after your beach trip! It held up very well at the beach all week, but after a couple windy days, it ended up with a hole in it. Still usable, but for the price I'm okay with getting a summer out of it

We will not stay in the ground. Very flimsily made

Webare using thisbon our porch. I connected it to the pallet fence. We can also take it with us when we go to the lake for shade.
