The umbrella assembly was very straightforward. I was excited to have the flexibility of being able to tilt and rotate as needed for coverage. With what were no more than 5 mph winds, the umbrella would rotate and shake. The mechanism to allow it to turn should have ratchets/stops. I can accept slight movement, but this was very severe with mild wind and movement of a foot or 2 in sway/rotation. Doesnt do much for you if you cant position it for coverage with it moving around. I expected much more as it is built pretty well, but the design issues are too much. I was forced to return.
Not stable, poor value for the money
