Stellar deal! I bought this umbrella on the cheap side - something for shade during a family cookout as the afternoon sun is brutal.  Could not be more pleased.   The manual crank to open  close is smooth  easy. The tilt feature is a press of the button though a bit challenged initially to get it upright - youre dealing with the weight of the top to click back into place.  My favorite part of the umbrella is the tie closure. Its not a tied tie like others but rather a plastic clip.  Would not have thought that makes a difference but it really does. 
I was considering a cover but the price point of this umbrella makes me consider replacing the canopy or the entire umbrella when its time to do so. Great sturdy material.
Highly recommend. Fantastic value!
