I was SO happy the first day I got this. Massive umbrella with nice solar lights for the side of my deck. I had a similar umbrella last year that got ruined because I didn’t think to put it down during a snowstorm, all my fault but this is the replacement. I assembled it very easily, fooled around with it to get it at the perfect height and angle which was a little puzzling but it can get really high and hang well. However over the next day or two I noticed it swinging from just a light breeze which was a little scary. I thought maybe the bricks I put on the base would suffice, however the next day I got home from work and the whole thing had toppled over my deck. Luckily I just wanted it to cover an area next to my pergola so I was able to secure it with some bungees and now it’s fine. SO moral of the story absolutely do not buy this as a free standing umbrella, as the many reviews will tell you. But if you have something to tether it to it is very nice and well worth the cheap price. The bungees I used I also bought on Amazon for about $2 each and they were delivered next day.
