Vibrant red colored umbrella and it was a breeze to install. I ordered a bracket to mount it to the patio instead of using a base to save space. The umbrella is vented so you may want to be aware of that if you were expecting protection from the rain. I think it’s vented so you get more fresh air and to stabilize it in windy conditions. It’s soaking up sun now so I’ll have to update y’all on the solar lighting aspects. But for now, it’s good coverage and protection from the sun so I can enjoy being outdoors.
