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.

So pretty, sturdy and well made!
