This just arrived and seems to be fine quality, however the pole is not as pictured. I purchased a wood and metal table and it looked as though this pole would match pretty closely, maybe just a touch darker.

The pole appears to be almost wood color (yes, I knew when I purchased it was metal) but is so dark brown that it looks ridiculous with the black fabric - it look like faded black or a mistake. Not a brown one would typically pair with black if doing so.

I would return this if I hadn't spent hours searching and finally committing to this umbrella and need it for an event.

So ugly. Photo included for comparison.
