Nice umbrella but it seems cheaply made. I just set it up today and will have to see how it handles the wind and elements. Time will tell.

So far I have not been able to use the umbrella. The partial assembly done prior to shipping was incorrect. I am trying to fix it today.

Packaged well, all parts included but the included instructions left a lot to be desired. We’re struggling with a section of the umbrella that will not insert & lock in place. Canopy material isn’t of quality we would prefer, summer in Texas will put it to the test. The base requires additional support to withstand against 25-30 winds that are normal for north Texas area.

Base is not strong enough to hold umbrella...and it will not go in a normal base!

The instructions for the base are cryptic, apparently you have to buy square pavers to weigh it down, I'm attempting to send it back because I was sent the wrong color and I did not want to buy pavers -- I have other umbrella bases but they're too low to accommodate this umbrella. 3 emails to customer service without return instructions makes me wonder about the level of customer service at tanga

Well I haven’t had a chance to open the box yet but the box is almost split in half and I had washers and stuff on my porch when I went to pick it up and bring it in the house. So we will see what the product looks like when I actually look inside. My guess is to send it back would be way too much of a hassle.
