Umbrella is unsafe and WILL fall over unless it is bolted to the ground (if you have cement floor) or you buy a separate weighted base. Poor construction.
Have to seat with Con(s): That heavy, black, something/filled Base is another 170 today. It may be worth itI dont know because it is/was not included. For my purposes the light, screw/down Base works well, but does take away any and all mobile flexibility. The umbrella WILL NOT STAY UP WITHOUT BEING SCREWED DOWN with the included base (as poorly shown with played/out wicker table). Heck, it wont go up. Hard surface? Pfttt, get the add/on Base, or get yourself another shade brosis (of any color, martial art and/or geography). The cover I received did not match the umbrella fabric, no particular sweat, but I am a straight male for full disclosure.
Pros: Reminiscent of the really nice resort shadeswith a few drinks and said compromises. Day one and hey the mechanics work very well! Nice and smooth, oh, so very easy to operate if youre not trying to force it. I have purchased several shades over the years and this actually is my overall favorite because its light, hangs over things and the aluminum frame and the main members are sturdy.
Be kind to each other, AMF Well made just what I was looking for!
The base was a source of confusion. 34 x 34 (ZYBASE/1) was correct for my 11 round umbrella. But the base out of the box was 32 x 32; the drawing on the box showed wheels which this didnt have. The seller was responsive and wanted to solve my problem. Just understand that they are in China so support is all e/mail at the pace of one per day.
Now thats its assembled (easy) the product looks good. The Sumbrella fabric is a spot on match with the umbrella at my table. The rig is sturdy and easy to raise or rotate. I filled the base with water and it appears that will be sufficient (can go with sand and water for even more support).
UPDATE
After a year I have good and bad to report. The wobble that some reviewers report is not very pronounced (I have the water/filled base). It provides sufficient shade to cover a pair of lounge chairs. I do not leave it up / Id say its been raised and lowered 40 times. Im not sure it was manufactured to stand/up to the constant up and downs. Im starting to see pin/hole tears in the material / not necessarily at stress points either. I hope it is sturdy.

Defect from shipping
Setup is done just before. It looks good.
good umbrella
Solid pole, seems sturdy. Fabric not super think as others have said, but should last awhile. Excellent value!
Fades
Not UV resistant fabric so it fades in a season. Good find!!
