This was easy to set up like 1, 2, 3. It was also easy to break down. It stayed in place and was cheaper than any other stores. The absolutely did what it was suppose to do, block the sun rays while on the beach. I would recommend this specific umbrella for sure.

We took this to the beach with us on our summer vacation. Love, love, love it. It was sturdy to hold up to some of the strong winds we had and big enough to have two chairs under it in the shade. Plus, the corkscrew at the bottom made setting it up in the sand a breeze. Once we got to the beach we wished we had purchased two, so we had enough shade for the entire family.

Worked great in moderate wind at the beach

So pretty, sturdy and well made!

The umbrella is a good size, tilt feature is nice, the pole is a bit light and needs an additional add on feature at the base to make it more sturdy especially in wind. The fringe is not needed and makes it difficult to pack into the case.
