I ordered this to go with a black dining set, the umbrella is of good weight and good size, and I like the tilt feature, However I am still in search of the black dining set, unfortunately the one you see in the picture is dark brown, and we have had so much rain lately I have not had the chance to enjoy it much, also It is to early to speak on the UV protection factor as I have not had it long enough or much sun. It does have a quality look and feel to it. I do like this umbrella.
