This umbrella is really light and easy to carry to the beach. But because it is light, the wind could totally carry it away, so I'm glad I read previous reviews and bought an anchor to attach to the bottom.
The shade is beautiful. We've only used it twice so far, so I'm not sure how long it will last.

We used the umbrella one time at the beach, it would not stay put. The 2 metal pieces that snap together would not stay locked. The plastic piece kept popping back out. :(

We used the umbrella for the first time this past weekend and found it to be the perfect beach size with excellent sun protection.  We loved it!

we enjoyed our umbrella, went to Walgreens and bought the screw in pole holder to make it easier

We just spent a week at the beach with 3 children. This was the best $20 we spent all week. My 11 month old would have miserable without it.

This was a great umbrella, but it was smaller than I thought it would be.  Quality of fabric was strong and good.
