CARIBBEAN JOEBeach Umbrella, Portable and Adjustable Tilt Sun Umbrella with UV Protection, Vented Canopy, Sand Screw Anchor, Full 6.5 ft Arc

Easy to put up and take down. Material is sturdy

The description makes it sound like this breaks down into a small enough size to take traveling with you…. Perhaps in a car, but not in a suitcase to fly to a beach vacation, which is really what I was looking for.So it’s “portable” as in you can move it from one location to another.They refunded my money promptly and let me keep it, so I want to give them a 5 star review for their awesome service and I’ll try to find other reasons to use it, like maybe on the sideline of youth sports.

Not as sturdy as we expected but it will work after several work around. Remains to be seen if it will last. Not very expensive, but time will tell. It is holding up at the moment doing its job.

To start with the positive, the umbrella came in two pieces and was super easy to assemble and disassemble. I'd say that maybe it ways 5lbs max. My 4-year old put it together with minimal assistance from me. The image is the umbrella being held up with my chair holder and is not anchored into the ground. I did try to stand it up with the anchor, but it wouldn't stay. I bought this for the beaches of Florida, so I'm not sure how it'll pan out on the beach. The height is adjustable, so that is a perk. It does well blocking out the sunlight. My only issue is that upon picking it up at the post office and opening it (it came in a LARGE box, taller than me which I'm 5'8"), the carrying case was torn as seen in the video. I bought it because of the carrying case as I'm taking a trip to Florida by myself with kids and needed to be able to throw it over my shoulder. The tear did make it a little more tricky to put back in the carrying bag.

This umbrella is perfect for so many things. I used it by my grandsons sandbox so he can have shade, but it’s easy to take it to the beach or wherever you want some shade.
