Really happy with this parasol.  Never sure what size to buy but thankfully got it right.  I love the idea of a crank for raising and lowering. But, if I have one small gripe it is that I wish the crank would stop turning when you have the canopy fully up or down.  It's really hard to tell when your head's stuck under the fabric where your having to lean across your table to turn the crank.  It just makes a barely noticeable clicking noise and before you know it you've gone too far.  I'm just concerned that later this could cause a problem with the workings so I tend to stop turning before the canopy is fully up or down.  Overall though, it's a nice thing.
