Received the umbrella. Put it together easily and placed it in the picnic table. Turned the crank and the umbrella opened up beautifully. However, as soon as I released the crank, it flew backwards and the umbrella lowered itself fairly quickly on my head. Im not going to the bother of returning it but I am very disappointed that I now have to tie the crank in place to keep the umbrella up. If it wasnt for this issue I would give it 5 stars.
Doesnt stay open
