Umbrella is generally a good value
Umbrella is generally a good value, but the instructions are not well written and missing steps and checks. The base is terrible - to fill 308 pounds of sand in a little hole literally takes 4-5 hours. If the base opened in half and you could easily pour sand into it, that would literally save hours of time. Also, the plastic piece that fits on top of the middle of the base where the umbrella is mounted does not stay in place. Every time you turn the umbrella, the square plastic piece pops out.
