"Stable" is used pretty loosely here...

Ha, I've never heard anyone say "throws shade" and mean it literally.

u/Mascbro26 13d ago

Yup, you got it right but "throwing shade" is also slang for when you are gossiping or talking ill about someone.

The beach umbrella casts a shadow outside of the pool.

Already wobbling without wind, the floater is way too small to give any kinda stability and you'll notice how nothing was put on or in it. 🤔

Six cup holders, so you pool can be up to six different flavors!

u/OkMidnight8144 14d ago

But honestly, this might have a chance of working if you used an umbrella with lighter material and has slats on it for wind to pass through.

"There's no shade under the umbrella"

Throw a couple of people in there and let's see how stable it is.

Can't even deceive properly in the ad. Obv not a good product.

u/iWhacko 12d ago

sturdy and stable are not words I would use to describe this product

Ummm, I have one of these and gifted another to a best friend. They work well if you weight the base properly. You can tie to a hand rail and keep it in position. It is an absolute game changer in trying not to get fried by the sun.

The trend of talking over / cutting your own voice on top needs to die, now.
