Yep Im one of the morons that purchased this since the price was right and then finding out after delivery that the base is SOLD SEPARATELY.
Says it in the description at the very end, but it would be nice if the pictures showed the umbrella and a note on each page stating DOES NOT COME WITH BASE. Ugh another 300 for the base now. Pictures are misleading for this. Hope it worth the money!!!!
UPDATE after installation:
This thing is MASSIVE!! Really didnt think it would be that large, but it is 12x12 lol. Had an issue opening 1st time. Pushed on it and tried cranking open (clockwise) a.d wouldnt budge. I was afraid of breaking it. Tried reverse / which is closing and nothing. Tried 3 or 4 times and finally hear a snap and then it opened. Easy to raise up and down and rotate. Again, its massive and hopefully lasts! Filled with water rather than sand so praying it survives on breezy days, but will close of too windy.
No base included
