I just received this. Im a bit shocked that it doesnt include a base for the price paid. First impression is not happy. The house cords was wrapped around one of the umbrella arms 4 times and would not open our of the box. The only way to resolve was to cut the cord unwrap it and attempt to retie it. As soon now its holding after melting in near 100 degrees trying to tie the heavy cord tight enough to hold. It is pretty but another con is the pole seems very light weight, lighter than my cheap old one. Im worried about its like term durability and will update after more use. 3rd con os the hight! Im 5 2 and with out it being in the middle of my table i cant even kind of reach it to push the tilt button. Im not sure how even my hubby at 6 2 will reach it once its in the middle of the table, so the tilt option is relatively useless. Im going to try it for a week or so but am strongly considering returning and going to s local store so i can see what im purchasing. Ill try to update soon.
Not impressed for the money.
