This is a much needed umbrella for our sunny backyard.  This umbrella is big and because of the adjustable arm, it so conveniently tucks away when we want full sun and is easy to open up to provide shade for most of our big back deck.  The color and material provide an elegant look and feel.  The one draw back, however, is that you need to secure the base with a separate sand or water stand, or use patio stones or rocks. Once the aforementioned snafu is fixed, it is worth five stars.
