Love the width of umbrella..think the pole part is too tall To tilt is soooo high...planning on sawing a few inches off so I can reach the tilt mechanism.
The umbrella is quite flimsy, I expected something a little more sturdy. A good gust of wind will cause the spikes to break. I should have remembered, you get what you pay for.
Love this umbrella!! Easy to use and matches our existing burgundy telescoping umbrella...So easy to use - my daughter is able to operate it. I would recommend a heavy stand base for when you "tilt" it, otherwise it will fall over.
The patio umbrella is really sturdy and beautiful. Crank open is such a swift operation and provides large shade area. The only thing is it didn't come with the wrap to tie it when closed. Other than that I will really recommend it. I had 2 in diameter hole for the stand.
