It came packaged well so nothing was broken or bent. Easy to put together and to open. It was very tall compared to the umbrella I replaced. But the fact that it has lights was so cool. Great for coming on patio in the evening when the sun goes down. I’m hoping the weather won’t fade the color. Overall it is a great product from what I can tell so far. I would recommend. Lots good colors. I needed a neutral color this time.
