The freestanding umbrella arrived as stated and was easy to install and setup. The umbrella is easy to deploy and to pull in. Just remember that the base is just cross metal braces and an additional weighted base is necessary. I used several boards with patio blocks until the Gravipod Duo Square Detachable Umbrella Base Weight Bags came in (Ordered from for about 40). The bags needed to be filled with sand. Works very well with this umbrella.
Great deal for the price.
