Was wary of purchasing an umbrella without seeing it -- new size for me (down from the 9' I had), feeling fabric, ease of "installation", etc.  
But -- WOW!! luv, luv, luv everything about it.  I'm a 5'3" sliight build female, SO surprised when I opened the box it came in and voila!! had it put together (2 pieces), in my stand and opened in 5 minutes.  Think this is a keeper. Thx
