I've been using two of these on weekends for our roadside BBQ stand for a year. They are great and easy to set up. Just pop it up and place the pin through and you're done. Nice heavy construction, and not your low box store quality.
Umbrella had to be added to framework, very difficult. Then had to push up to open to hold in place, nearly impossible. Nowhere did I see assembly required in description. Too pricey for labor required.
Thank you for your review, Lois! If you look at the "Specs" section of the product page, there is a section called "Assembly Options: Assembly Required" which indicates that this item does require some assembly before use. Instructions on how to do this can be found in the "Resources and Downloads" section of the product page. If you need further assistance, please reach out!
