This was the perfect pop of color we needed in our back yard!  It's beautiful!  I chose this umbrella because we already own two Sportbrellas with the sunbrella UV protection that we take to soccer games and we love them!  The durability is great and the extra sun protection is a plus.  I also like that it has two air vents.  Not only do they make the umbrella more stable in breezy conditions, but the three-tier look adds a beautiful visual appeal!  The crank is smooth as butter, and the five-year fade warranty is great for us in Florida!  Highly recommend!
