Mainstays 6' Blue Stripe Portable Beach Umbrella, UV Protection

Easy to haul around because it's so light weight. Would NOT recommend for the beach. The plastic frame is very flimsy and would snap in gusty wind. I would compare the quality to an outdoor playset umbrella. It's perfect for hot summer game days, picnics or going to the splash pad. I recommend this for someone looking for a lot of shade without the bulk.

These are perfect. The 6' size is just what I was looking for and the wind flap is very helpful to keep the umbrella from inverting in the wind. I would love some solid colors being available in blue or green. The price is truly amazing

Got it the day before I needed it. The next day we went to the beach very windy day set it up and it did not even got blown backwards. Will buy another one soon. Great for the price.

It didn't bring the extended tube

I used this inexpensive umbrella on my back porch all summer, and it has lasted beyond my expectations. I'm not great about collapsing it at night; I leave it out so that when it rains (as it has frequently this summer, my cats can walk beneath it to their outdoor sitting area on a shelf under a table to the back door. Sometimes, the wind has pulled the umbrella top off of the spokes, but it's easy to pull it back on. The mechanism for opening an closing the umbrella is smooth and easy to use, and I hang a chargeable light from the inner spokes. It's made a perfect sitting area where the sun can be surprisingly strong. Best of all, it's a convenient size, lightweight, and very pretty! (I managed to match one of the colors to decorate my table and chairs.) Because I did not expect this umbrella to last, it is getting a little worn. I expect I'll likely get another season out of it, but just in case (and since I invested in matching paint), I'm buying a second one as a back-up and for when I want to go on the road. I keep the back porch umbrella simply and securely tied to the railing with cable ties. I highly recommend this very inexpensive, quality umbrella.

Horrible! Broke within 15 minutes of arriving at the beach!

I was a little nervous to buy this since some of the reviews seemed mixed on how it holds up to wind but I had a great experience with it. It's easy to put together/carry and if you set it up firmly in the sand it doesn't blow up (admittedly I couldn't secure it well and my guy friend had to help lol). I'm super happy and this is my first beach umbrella so glad it's worked out

This umbrella would be best suited for a warm, breeze less day. I had the umbrella on the beach on a mildly windy day, I had to hold it to secure it so that it wouldn't blow away. The material is lovely, I didn't have high confidence the pole would hold the umbrella securely.

For parents out there looking for a replacement umbrella for step 2 picnic table or water table that isn't $30-40, this is it!!! Works PERFECT!! Definitely “cheaply” built for a beach umbrella, however absolutely perfect for my application!

This may seem strange but I bought this umbrella to cover the bird feeders which always got wet in the rain. I mounted it to the pole and now the birdseed stays dry and the birds stay happy. I think they enjoy the shade.
