Alden Design 10 Foot Offset Cantilever Patio Umbrella with Crank, Blue

Wow! I really like this umbrella! Very easy to put together. There were some screws and some washers and it came with a little wrench! The stand is big, but for the weight of the umbrella, you will need to put something on it to make it not fall over. I had a large 20 inch pot filled with dirt that I put on one of the legs and it held it great. There is also holes where you could drill down into your patio if desired. We will want to move it around so we didn't want it permanently attached down. The umbrella snaps to the pole and once you put the main pole onto the stand, you are ready to go! Make sure you look at the directions to know about the tiny piece that locks it in place. No words in the directions, so just take your time to make sure you understand how it goes up and down. Not a problem, really. The color we chose was navy blue. Very nice striking color and rich. We opened it up for Memorial weekend and it is LARGE!! Wow!! Very impressive!! Shaded us and created a great atmosphere to enjoy our day under! A !!

I don't expect to get more than one season from this but thats not the fault of the umbrella. I live in an area where I catch so much wind that I only get one season of use no matter what price I pay. The quality of this product seems as good as others that Ive paid twice as much for. So Im very happy with my purchase and it looks really nice on the deck......where its anchored with bolts. No regrets thus far.
