I bought the 9' Open Market Umbrella from  Umbrella in Tuscan, a beautiful burnt orangealmost brick orange-red color, on closeout for $35. It is quite sturdy, very pretty, and is made with a wood pole and a pulley-crank type system to open and close it. There are a couple of small holes drilled through the pole that you slip an attached metal pin through, to keep the umbrella up. I would have preferred a more automated approach (only reason for 4 stars instead of 5), but hey, for $35, I am not complaining. The fabric itself is a good quality, and the umbrella is quite sturdy. Please note, the stand does NOT come with the umbrella.
