First // Buy the base. Even though its not fully clear about needing/including/installing it, you need a heavy, sturdy base for this umbrella.
Second, this was EASY to assemble. The main umbrella is pre/assembled, so all you have to do is connect the bottom part to the heavy base, slide on the umbrella, remove the packing and open up the umbrella.
From opening the box, to sitting in its shade in my pool was about 30 minutes.
I would buy again.
Great Product, Easy to assemble.
