We placed the cantilever umbrella on our small patio and it works perfectly. easily lifts and cranks to open. The push pettel to sivel the 10" umbrella is very easy to maneuver so the shade can be placed as needed. The matching color zip up cover encompases the unbrella and stand keeping the elements off the crank and easy lift handle.  The hard part is filling the weighted bags with sand. Well worth the purchase!
