My patio is my oasis and this inverted ornamental umbrella fits well with my rustic décor. It is lightweight and but well-constructed.  The canopy is made of weathered sheet metal that is beautifully embossed. Assembly was effortless. The instructions, with images, were fool-proof. Simply insert handle through center of canopy and screw into the three-prong stake. The three-legged stake is rigid and sturdy; when it is inserted fully into the ground, I am confident it will keep the umbrella and any contents from overturning. The canopy also has four pre-drilled drainage holes which is a plus with any planter. It is semi-deep (about 9”) and has ample room for planting my seasonal flowers, such as petunias, inpatients and mums. I highly recommend to any garden enthusiast or as a housewarming gift as it is very versatile!
