The package arrived virtually destroyed which you can see in a few photos - this could explain the giant spider nest that was attached to the bottom, but not the dirty, frayed umbrella as the plastic was still completely in tact. Based off the filth of the umbrella,  the already fraying edging and the fact that this will immediately blow over in a storm because the base weighs nothing, I truly wanted to give this just one star….however, the quality of the umbrella is pretty good, it folds down to a fairly compact size, ams it was so easy to put together (I did it alone) that I had to tack a couple of extra stars on. Size is as expected, quality was slightly questionable overall, but I think it does look great in my yard.
