This is the second umbrella we bought...First was a 9' California Market umbrella, which we loved, but decided it was too large for the 12x12 deck...Kept it for another area in our yard. This 7.5 Umbrella with its great red color/tilt and crank IS the right size and gives our new table, chairs a wonderful pop of color...adds to the festive mood when entertaining, and works well on all counts...Price being offered was attractive as well.
