This umbrella is really big with a nice hangover design. It was easy to put together.  I was making it more difficult then what it was. All you have to do is put the bottom pole into your base and put the umbrella post on top of that and secure it by tightening the bottom which is  attached to the base. (I had my own base it did not come with a base.) Crank it up and it is good to go. The material is not as good as my other umbrella which was made of thick canvas but this umbrella is prettier. I’m not sure how it will withstand the wind but my other strong canvas one came out and flew across the yard which shows it depends on the wind. I highly recommend this umbrella for the simple fact that it cranks up and down for quick access and it’s very pretty. I have orange and it was a little more orange neon but it blends just fine.
