Packaged well unlike other umbrellas I've purchased. The weave is pretty and neutral. Unfortunately I went to set it up yesterday for my client on a sunny day and it's missing 5 of the 8 bolts and came with only 2 washers. So not able to put it up. And it's interesting that umbrellas do not come with the base weights nor does Wayfair sell them to correspond so you have to puchase those separately. From the looks of it, this is very easy to install. I'll be keeping this due to the heft of the steel and wait for bolts.
