I really like this half-brella! I have a long, but not terribly wide, patio. I have a round table at one end with a 9-foot market umbrella. There's also an 11-fpt offset umbrella to shade the other end. But this left a seating spot with two wicker chairs and an ottoman right in the sun most of the day. There was no space for another full market umbrella without running into the back of the offset umbrella. 

The half-brella shades that spot very nicely, and without fighting for space with the offset umbrella.  It would also work beautifully flat against a wall, or on a small balcony -- even over a window that gets too much sun. 

I am also impressed with the color selection. The "grass green" coordinates with the cushions and pillows I already use on the patio, and makes a nice pop of color between two large beige umbrellas.
