This patio umbrella looks just like the picture,it has bright colors, fan-shaped overall, and looks strong,Alough it hasn't crank,but easy to open,you just open it by push and you can press the tilt button for more shade,it is also easy to operate.The best thing is that it has a bag that you can fill with sand, which acts as a weight to hold it down and has a perfect cover when not in use. It's also super light to easy carry,and can be placed in the yard, can be carried to the sandy beach for travel, or used for camping.
