" ... Not what I expected doesn't stay in the position I desire ... "

" ... The clamp was placed on my beach chair and wasn't nearly as secure as I would've hoped . ... "
" ... I bought this umbrella because it had a clamp. ... Also, the clamp is very hard to use and if you have it on a round piece of metal it just slides around under the weight of the umbrella. ... "
" ... It will not stay on a chair it bends and folds over. ... "
" ... be careful loosening the claw, one or two turns to many causes the knob assembly to fall into the sand. ... "
" ... I took one star off for the closing mechanism. ... You have to pull down pretty hard to get the umbrella to collapse and it’s a finger pincher! ... "
" ... It’s like the plastic got worn out from tightening it and now it doesn’t work as well. ... "
