Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The description says it doesn't come with WEIGHTS - does not mention anything about a base. I would not know that they mean for "weights" to describe the base. The umbrella will not stand without the separate purchase of a weight - so this is useless sold as is. The picture shows it with a base so obviously any normal person would think it comes with that. In the Q&A portion someone says the base has to be filled with sand - to me that means it's weighted down. I was so pissed and of course there's nothing I can do but spend another $150 on a stand. I'm having this issue more and more frequently on Amazon where they don't give you a correct description, don't match the pictures shown, and use tricky wording.
