In the picture, there is a hole for an umbrella. There is a Step2 maroon umbrella sold separately. Has anyone bought and used them together?

I have not purchased or used the umbrella with this so I cannot share any information.

Yes, there is a hole for the umbrella. I have not purchased the umbrella, but we love the table.

Yes there is. There is also a cover for the hole in case you choose not to use an umbrella.

I did the same thing - went to the strathwoodfurniture side and found nothing. However, there shouldn't be any assembly required. Mine came fully assembled with the canopy on. Obviously, you will need to place it in a good market umbrella stand. One interesting note, the arrows on the crank handle point in the wrong direction - following the arrow up and the umbrella folds down and vice versa. Also, I couldn't find a locking mechanism on the crank, but it seems to stay up well without one.

This umbrella has a base of its own. I was fortunate to have a deck to screw the base into.If you don't have a deck you will need to purchase the base.

We did purchase some longer stakes and a mallet, which was helpful for one high wind day. If you look close at the photo, you'll see 4 built-in 'sand bag' pockets (2 in the back and 1 on each side). We were rather amused at ourselves for not initially realizing their purpose. Filling those with sand was very beneficial in managing the shelter under windy conditions, provided you have reasonable expectations of what constitutes "windy" (LOL!).

You need 4 for all sides to have one. The umbrella is like a cross, so 4 quadrants. Hope this helps.

I purchased one ten lb. bag course sand. The sand was wet so it took time and a little messy. I also use to flower pots to conceal some of the base, so that is also extra weight. I am please with the product. The color of umbrella fades in the sun...fyi. Hope this helps:)

I use the umbrella that came with a completely different dining set that I purchased 10 years ago. In other words, any umbrella that can stand on its own (meaning it has its own base) can be inserted in the hole provided in the little shelf between the gliders with no problem.

My first order did include the bag as a special deal. My second order did not include the bag, I had to purchase it separately. Wonderful umbrellas!

I bought mine a couple of years ago and absolutely love it. It's simple to put up and extremely spacious. What you see in the picture is exactly what I have. Both the rain fly and the awning were included. Did it say it didn't include the awning? I would contact Columbia if this is the case. Especially if the picture shows the awning.

You will not be able to use this with a table that has a hole for the umbrella. This unit is a stand alone and can do a fine job setting beside the table. This is a great item, small, and extremely portable. I love mine.

Yes, the umbrella is included in the set; but the umbrella I got was not the one pictured in the ad. The one they sent me is a small beach umbrella (pointed bottom of the pole).

No, it does not have a hole for an umbrella. Is a very good set though. Very high quality.

With our set the umbrella was extra. We live where we have lots of wind, so we didn't buy the umbrella.

Yes, the umbrella is included! This is a great set for occasional use. I own 4 and pull them out for large backyard parties. I wouldn't purchase them for everyday use as they are not super strong.

I may be assuming incorrectly, but if you are going to insert an umbrella, I wouldn't. This is not a patio piece. It is designed well, and it is strong, but not heavy. Certainly not heavy enough for an umbrella subject to wind. Also, my model folds in half. Another reason to not cut a hole in it, IMHO. For my purposes, it is a good buy.

Kathy, That I know of, I think you'll have to return it to the seller. The fabric is sewn all around the umbrella fingers. Mine is also starting to fray, after 2 months,.. poor workmanship. I believe it's warranted for 1 year, and print the amazon receipt with the return. Good Luck! George - Property Damage Appraisers, S.C.
