I am utterly disappointed with this umbrella. First and most important, the  pole, etc. are brown and not black. I had a conversation with Wayfair about an umbrella I bought a few weeks earlier that had that same question, and the Wayfair rep didn't even know. So, when I bought this larger umbrella for a larger table, I thought that it was of no use to call Wayfair and I would take my chances and hope that it is black as well. Nope, it's brown. Not happy about this, but repackaging and sending it back  - well forget it! A HUGE pain. That said, I also do not like that there isn't a strap for when you close the umbrella. I like the lights, but that's about it.
