My umbrella just arrived, and I couldn''t be more pleased.  It''s a gorgeous shade of turquoise, with white trim along the edge.  It seems very sturdy, and the fabric is thick, and will do a great job of blocking out the sun.  I also ordered the sand anchor, which looks like it will also do a great job.  I will be using this on a sandy beach at a lake this summer.  I also like that it doesn''t have a lot of different bright colors on it, which I have found through experience will attract a lot of bees.  It''s just one solid color.  I just love it, can''t wait to use it!

Sturdy umbrella.  Nice color.  Opens, closes and tilts easily.  My only objection is that it can't be lowered to a shorter height.  The case is very sturdy, roomy and comfortable to carry.  The strap could be a little longer.  All in all a good value for the price.

This is a great little umbrella with a nice Sun Protection Factor (SPF)!  The color(s) stand out at the beach as it seems like everyone else's umbrella is dark blue or dark green!  Lightweight and comes in its own carrying case - I am very glad I purchased this baby.

Pros: light enough to easily carry around
Cons: Diameter barely enough for provide shade for one small beach chair. Bigger problem: bottom pole is hollow, does not have a pointed end and is therefore very resistant to being 'screwed' into the sand. You'd have to use a sand anchor with this umbrella if you hope to have it stand up to more than the slightest breeze.

The price was right and I bought 3 of these umbrellas for our recent trip to the beach.  Winds were high and they still did the job of  shading us very well and not coming apart.  I would highly recommend them.

I use the umbrella at the beach and it is great and strong with the winds too. I am very pleased with the product and look forward to my next purchase. Thank you Teddy
