We purchased this along with some furniture for our deck.  Although it came with slight damage - the upper pole insert was bent flat a bit - I was able to straighten it with a channel-lock pliers and it fit together perfectly.  The item seems to be of a high quality.  The paint, mechanics, solar panel, pole hardware are all very nice.  The umbrella tilts and locks in place, has a nice hand-crank, has lights inside which are solar-powered.  The canopy provides good shade over a large area.  We purchased a Moro Metal Free Standing Umbrella Base and it is substantial and secure.  The umbrella collapses nicely and is secured with a velcro strap.
