This is a good size umbrella that was not too expensive. I have a rectangle patio table that can fit six chairs and the shade offered is just right. It protects the sun from beating down on the chair fabric here in Southern CA. I know that sun is brutal and do not want to have to recover my custom chair pads over time so I would rather replace an umbrella every now and then. It has rained here a couple times in the past months since having this umbrella out and I have to go and stack the chair pads up on the table to keep them dry. Even though this is an 11" umbrella my table is a long rectangle one and I knew in advance the rain would still get the chairs wet on the outside. It is windy when it rains too so it's unavoidable. 
It's great for the main purpose I bought it for: shade while eating out and keeping the beating sun off the chair pads

Pros: offers plenty of shade. pivot top. pleasing color.
