The umbrella is really pretty and the material seem to be of decent quality. Was easy to put together. You do need to have something 100lbs or heavier to keep umbrella from falling over. I ended up anchoring the top part of the umbrella to my outdoor light. Yes the light is bolted into a stud and provide enough support to keep the umbrella from flying all over. Since it is offset the umbrella dangles and the slightest breeze will have it looking like a frisbee. I’ve used it about a week and love it after anchoring it. Barely moves and block sun nicely.
