I bought the 11/foot square version. I installed it with the permanent steel/in/concrete base in my pool deck. So far, the umbrella seems like a quality item. I wouldnt leave it open in strong wind, but Ill be watching carefully so see how much wind it can take. A restaurant near me has about ten of the same exact umbrellas over outdoor tables. Theyre using the plastic bases which seem to work. I dont know what the restaurant staff would have to say.
Great so far
