Highlights
Quality
Easy to assemble and easy to figure out how to anchor.
It is attractive, appears to be sturdy, and made of quality materials.
The assembly instructions indicate that the umbrella will not support the cantilever function without a heavy base.
The end of the product description says "it is recommended to use a water-filled base to make the umbrella more stable".
Price
For the current price of about $100, this is a pretty reasonable value.
Packaging/appearance
*note* it does not come with a stand!

We ended up mounting it to the deck we have it sitting on but youll definitely need some sort of anchor system to keep it from falling over

If you are using without a proper base this will not be sturdy in a slight breeze
