Just what I was looking for! My deck is slowly coming together and this orange umbrella really brightens up the space! The handle to adjust the unbrella up and down is easy to use. I havent tried the tilt option yet, because im too short to reach up high. I do plan on getting a base because the rod is smaller than the hole in the table. I was under the impression that it would got snug. Overall it's a great umbrella!
