The experience with this item was not as great as the first, the product arrived over a week and few days late, the tracking was off and the tracking codes weren't working.  I had to call several times to get an update, which was a sharp contrast to the previous experience.

The umbrella is nice although from the description we thought it would be taupe and navy and it isn't.  The Solar piece was easy to attach and the umbrella seems sturdy.  The lights are a nice touch as this is the first time I have had a lighted umbrella.  Looking forward to using it that feature.

The only improvement I would make is the tie for the umbrella which is Velcro, make it more of an elastic fabric, as it is a bit tough with the crank to get the umbrella completely closed and that may just be that it is new and needs to be used a bit more.  

So far so good!  Love the fact it is waterproof!
