Purchased this umbrella a few months ago. I mainly use it in the most vertical position to shade my hot tub from the sun. Its basically a great umbrella with few faults. Mine is exposed to sun and its fading after a few months. The base that comes with it is a joke. I did purchase the 34 optional base that you fill with water or sand. If you purchase the 10 or 11ft umbrella I would purchase the larger base. My setup does ok in 10–12 mph winds but a 20mph gust of wind blew it over. I should add that once you fill the base there is no moving it. When it arrives its easy to set up . Its also easy to operate.
