I like that this umbrella was super easy for me to set up by myself, straight out of the box. The hand crank glides smoothly to open and close the umbrella. The tilt is easy to adjust with a click of a button. The umbrella is well built and good quality. I like that umbrella is lightweight and easy to move around the yard by myself.  The umbrella doesn't include a stand, so I will have to get one soon. At 7.5', this umbrella offers a decent amount of shade to cool my kids while playing in the hot sun. Overall, this is a well crafted umbrella!
