We are so happy with the quality of the umbrella and the weights. The footprint of the weights are larger than expected, but I’m confident the umbrella will not get blown away when it’s windy. Would definitely recommend!
The four sections are easy enough to put together but once filled they are obviously are quite heavy. Getting the locking pins in place may need more than one person with some muscle power to maneuver the sections so the locking pins fit into their target holes.
I filled each container with water and it withstood a strong wind when we had a thunderstorm. The weight is light when it it empty. Quality-wise, since it is made with synthetic plastic, I would think that it can last a long.
