I received this umbrella about 3 weeks ago. The umbrella fits perfectly in one of our previous umbrella bases, so we didn't need to set up the base that came with the product. The solar lights gave a nice touch. We love this umbrella!

The package is really heavy, strong delivery person! Brought the pieces out, assembled easily. Just as described, but better -- the umbrella portion is lightweight, makes nice shade. The solar lights are great, not glaring. The base takes up some space (29" square) but it's not unattractive, cover is tailored. You will need sand for the sandbags, we went to local rockery and got 6 25-pound bags, easier to handle. Overall, we couldn't be happier!

I was hesitant to make this purchase (unknown company), but went ahead with it because it appeared to be a great deal. So happy I did! Fast shipping, looks to be well made, looks great and it does exactly what I bought it for.
