Is the umbrella ready to use straight out of the box? In other words, how many tiny pieces come in the box? Thanks, Annie

As I remember there weren't any tiny pieces to this umbrella. There are a few sections of the pole that fit into each other and lock into place with a simple push button system. The electric cord is in a small separate box at one end of the larger shipping box and I almost didn't see it, so look closely! I assembled it quickly with no tools.

Annie, it's ready to use. The pole was in two pieces but very easy to put together.

It is ready to use. However, there were no instructions on how to turn on the lights... had to figure that out myself. There's a small thermometer on the pole below the crank, and beneath that is a button (not real obvious) that you depress to turn on the lights, several different light levels.

Don't purchase this junk, I did and I just repaired it for the 3rd time, frame is some what solid but the umbrella is just weak, look at paraflex, yes it's $$$$$$$$ but it.s the best GOOD LUCK

Thank you, thank you. We were looking all over for the "missing part", just too easy. The umbrella is fine, not the most expensive looking umbrella, but seems to be OK for the money.

I have not filled it with sand yet. I have been using a 50lb umbrella base the few times I took it out this winter for the boys to play.

The umbrella is not square, it is actually a Tommy Bahama Blue Flower 7 foot round beach umbrella with a sand anchor and a tilt that we purchased online at Amazon in May, 2013. It goes with our 2 matching chairs that we purchased at Del Sol in New Buffalo 6/14/12.

I didn't get a stand with my umbrella. I bought the umbrella online (like it BTW), but bought my stand at Lowes.

Hi Sandra, Yes that is the same sheet I received as well. Actually, I just threw the sheet down and looked at the parts and thought about how it should come together. The hardest part for me was dealing with the actual size and weight of the umbrella. It really is worth all the effort. Hope this helps. Linda Leamon

Off of the top of my head I would say 40. There is three patterns you can select if you like them to blink. You will be happy with the umbrella.

The umbrella is 104 inches wide, 54 inches from wall and 90 inches tall. We have a round base, but put a 2x4 under the side away from the house because we want it tight against the house. I noticed that there is a half base on Amazon for $26.98. I put it on my wish list because the others I saw were way more expensive. We like ours because it keeps the rain off while we are unlocking our back door.

Yes, you'll need to get a base for the umbrella. It seems Amazon sells everything, maybe they have them.

I bought my umbrellas so long ago that I don't remember there being an additional piece. What does it look like?

One person can install this in 10 minutes or less. Crank your umbrella down, spread the netting out around your area to be covered (to get the circle correct & where you want to position the zipper). I am using a large table, so I put the whole thing on the table to do this. Draw the top part string clasp close to the size opening enough to slide it over the umbrella (I climbed on a step-stool to do this part), then slowly crank open your umbrella & start spreading the thing out. You will have to release string from the clasp as you go, as the netting needs to come down to the ground. After you get it how you want it, slowly fill it with enough water to keep the bottom from blowing in the wind. You will need to adjust the top clasp, to release more netting toward the ground as more water in the tube pulls it to the ground. When you get it the way you like, I would suggest maybe putting a small bow-knot at the top of the 'drop string', as the little clasp may slip a little. Hope this helps.

The umbrella is not too heavy. The base is very heavy. It would depend on the walking distance to the beach.

I'm wondering if somehow your umbrella was not assembled correctly, because ours is easy to open and close. My husband is a mechanical engineer, so I always leave assembly of items up to him.
