Mainstays 6' Blue Stripe Portable Beach Umbrella, UV Protection

Not sure why so many negative reviews. Sofar this umbrella has worked perfectly. Of course... it is only March and we are at 90°. Will update when we are at 110°-115° but for the price.. You can't beat this easy to use umbrella to keep the sun out of your eyes. Makes watching your kids play baseball so much easier. Just saying...

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

Just what I needed, to add a little more shade over an area of the kiddie pool so my 6 month old granddaughter wouldn't be directly in the rayz on the really sunny and hot days plus was able to get it in less than 24hrs so it was here when she came to swim , it was a good size so good coverage , nice quality and was a great price especially compared to ones I saw on other sites.

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.

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.

I've only had this for a few days , so I can't give a full rating . I was a bit disappointed when I opened it as it feels pretty cheap. Severe replacing an umbrella for our pool deck and the old one was much sturdier . It does have a nice pattern and does look nice. We will see if it survives the summer!

Umbrella is very basic, does not tilt, not built for beach winds and you need to purchase an additional anchor that goes into the ground then you slip the umbrella into the anchor. High winds today keep us holding onto the umbrella z If you are simply needing some shade and you have an anchor and wind speed is low then this umbrella will serve its purpose, it's just not for me.

item looks nice but straight out the bag brand new already had a cigarette burn through material and broken support rods and being disabled and unable to drive to return to store, I am stuck with a broken burned item. if purchasing online I recommend getting 2 pack so maybe you will end up with one undamaged umbrella

The bottom rod was missing and the top of the umbrella was broken. Since I had it delivered, it would have been reasonable if Walmart sent a return label for damaged items; instead, they want me to go to the store and return the damaged items. It happened with a gallon of milk too. Newsflash folks…if I wanted to go to the store, I wouldn't be paying for Walmart …Be more considerate to your members.

Literally missing the lower pole of the umbrella! Even in the picture online it shows the umbrella, lower poll and the carrying bag it came in, and there's random tape on the umbrella pole part! My trip is on Monday! This is ridiculous!
