Not easy to assemble for a non mechanic inclined lady
Im sure a mechanic inclined person would have no problem but if you are like me this umbrella was a nightmare. I thought I would be able to pop it in the table hole and be done with it. Nope. So many parts ! I had to get a friend to put it together for me. Then it would not fit in the standard size hole in my table so my friend had to do some modifications. Its finally up. It did not want to crank up at first but finally got it to go up.
The umbrella itself is all one piece. It was the base that was in parts. I hope I end up liking it after all that .
Update / Ive had the umbrella up for a couple of weeks now .
One negative thing is that when we have just a small amount of wind the umbrella spins around. 2nd thing is we recently had a small amount of rain. The umbrella creates a pocket on each side where water gathers. So far not much rain and I was able to just lower the umbrella to release the water. We are expecting a lot of rain later today so to be on the safe side Im going to put the umbrella down. Im worried that it will gather too much water and cause material to rip. Putting it down defeats the purpose for me.
I am not very happy at all with this item.
