Update: Everything in my first review below is still true. However, after the company sent us a second umbrella, another small gust of wind (12 mph, if that!) and it just doesn’t hold up. I’m including pictures of the second umbrella they sent us. It did bend at the bottom too, but I was able to bend it back. At this point, I’m not asking for anything from the company. Just be aware that it is not good with wind at all. We even have it bolted down, we put a rug down to try to make sure no wind comes from underneath our deck, etc. We don’t live near water, or anywhere where it’s overly windy. It just isn’t made to withstand wind at all.
Original review:The umbrella itself seems sturdy, but doesn’t seem to withstand any little bit of wind very well. HOWEVER, This company is AMAZING. We had an issue with our umbrella BUT we contacted the seller with pictures and they quickly shipped us out another one free of charge. We appreciate that so much!

LBaezLBaez: I like d the fact that is big enough to cover our seating area, the color Blue is perfect! the only flaw it is not sturdy and clamps will not hold it up alone, we had to used left over pavers we had in storage too hold up! it’s very heavy, over all satisfied with the price! hopefully it will hold up!

Andrew metlin: The original order was delivered when expected. However was missing the Solar panel to power the lights. Upon contacting the seller they promptly tried to get me one through their distributer but where in unable. So instead they told me they would ship me a whole new one free of charge if I was willing to wait until July. I said of course I can wait. Well I have to say. July came and I recieved it very early on and it was fully intacted and operational. It was a bit of a rough start but I have to say I am a fully satisfied customer. I feel the seller went above and beyond to make this unfortunate accident right. Thank you very much. Would buy from again.

As others have reviewed, there is a piece on this umbrella that broke. However, it is an easy fix. The plastic part that slides that holds the umbrella up split. There is a screw at the elbow that can easily be removed. Get a piece of pvc that will fit over the plastic piece. It works great. I also contacted Best Choice regarding this issue and sent them a picture so they knew what piece I was talking about. They offered to refund it or replace IF I boxed and returned the umbrella. I didn't have the box anymore so I went back and forth arguing that I would return it when I received the replacement. I finally gave up, figured out how to fix it and then let them know I fixed it and never mind. Then I received a message saying that they will refund or replace and I didn't have to return the one that was broken. I now have 2 umbrellas!! My suggestion is to get a piece of PVC and put it over the plastic piece that holds up the umbrella BEFORE if breaks. It is easy. You will be happy. I do hope that Best Choice will change that piece in the future. Even if they don't fix the piece it is worth the money.
Update received the replacement the part that...

When I was looking for a cantilever umbrella for my pool, I saw a lot of them selling in the $300 and up range. Being a bargain hunter, I decided to keep looking and came across this umbrella. Reviews were just below 4 stars at the time, and the price was great, so I took a chance.
Let me begin by saying I live in Oklahoma. Wind is pretty much a given on most days. We consider 10 mph to be calm. More on this later. Set up of the stand was fairly simple. Now for each failure point:
Base post washer
Right off the bat, I notice that the base vertical pipe that the umbrella stand slides into has a cheap plastic washer meant to hold some pins in place so the umbrella won't shear in the wind. Without this piece of plastic, the pole can rotate the full width of the pin in both horizontal directions. The washer is broke. It will stay in place, but it does not lock in the pins now. I figure it's not a huge deal and move on. I finish setting up the base, adding base weights, erect the umbrella into the stand, and start to crank it open.
Umbrella Rib Spoke and Stopper
While I was looking at the crank, apparently a piece of plastic drops out of the...

ChristinaChristina: nice sturdy umbrella. purchased for my patio to provide shade for two chairs a bench and small table. covers most of the furniture and gives ample shade. i was able to assemble product myself quickly, directions were clear and simple. this umbrella comes with solar lights on the underside. lights are visible but not very good for providing any real ample lighting. more for show but does look pretty. easy to open and close but takes a tiny bit of getting used to opening as it hangs and opens differently than a traditional umbrella. this product does not come with the base needed to provide stability and will need to be purchased separately to use product otherwise it will fall over immediately. purchased the cream color and is as pictured in listing. overall very satisfied with my purchase.
