Not very sturdy. Plastic collar that stabilizes it in various positions broke on day 1. Can only have it fully upright, not cantilevered, as a result. Otherwise it collapses. The recommended base bought separate by same company allows it to blow over with even a regular breeze.

This sails and tips over in a slight breeze. I had to buy base weights - even then it falls if it is gusty. Also, the led lights are decorative - but dim and insufficient to light up a meal if you want to eat dinner under it.

I like the idea very much. Unfortunately every time a breeze hits the u,Breslau it turns and the whole thing swings around. This seems like a product that is not going to make it through the summer. I would not recommend buying.

I truly do like this umbrella; however, I now know that it is just not ideal for a seated outdoor dinner when the slightest breeze is blowing. The ability to 'lock' the umbrella canopy is something that I need to accomplish on my own, but the slightest wind causes the free swinging canopy to rock back and forth. At it's highest setting, it still was hitting my guests in the head while we were seated and trying to enjoy an outdoor barbeque. Again, it's a great umbrella and a bargain at its price, but definitely not able (for me at least) to be used just anywhere outdoors.

The umbrella looks nice, the stand feels pretty strong and sturdy. I know these umbrellas have a tendency to blow over with any amount of wind, so I put a pretty hefty amount of weight on the stand and it still blew over pretty often. The biggest problem was that I had it open one morning and a decently strong gust of wind came through and snapped the rope that connects the crank to the umbrella. It does look like a pretty cheap piece of material. This was after just 2 - 3 weeks of owning it.

The cheap plastic that holds the arm in place broke the second time I put it down. It still works when it’s all the way up so it’s not useless but the tilt function is obsolete now. The lights work great. Not too bright and don’t attract bugs. It was easy to assemble and it looks great on my deck. I just wish they would have used metal instead of plastic for that part so that all of the selling functions were still applicable. Overall, not bad for the money but if you plan to use the tilt function, I suggest buying a different umbrella.

I had high hopes for this but I'm upset with the outcome. The legs are cheaply made. I put it up the day I got it and within the hour it tipped over with minimal wind. The pole to the umbrella has also gotten bent from falling over making it difficult to adjust the position. One of the legs became bent and all the 5" steaks were pulled out of the ground. The umbrella itself is very top heavy and makes the four legs it stands on very light. The umbrella tips over whether it is opened or not. Ive even put cinderblocks on all 4 legs and it is still tipping over. Im very upset because i bought this to cover my grandkids baby pool and it isn't doing its job. Not worth the money!!!!

Mediocre. The sliding locking sleeve for the arm split on the first day. It was just plastic. The umbrella fabric is nice, provided good area of shade. The metal parts, legs, pole, showed minor signs of rust after a few weeks. The retracting bulb that closed the umbrella broke after a few months. So now it's trash.

Beautiful umbrella, but it is cheaply made. It does not swivel, which is kind of annoying and the LED lights are a disgusting sterile white color. The tilt is a complete lie. The umbrella fabric presses on the stand as it's "tilt". This will eventually destroy the material. I am angry about the quality and am praying that it doesn't break so I don't have to go through returns.

It was easy to assemble and we really liked it at first. We bought the weights for the bottom and filled them with sand. The first wind storm we got took it down and bent it at the bottom. We put it back up and added more weight. Next wind storm we got, it completely broke it beyond repair. Seemed top heavy and the wind easily bent it. Wouldn't buy again
