This is a great patio umbrella. It took me five minutes to pull out and extract it.  The 7.5 foot coverage is perfect for what we need in Southern California. This does not come with a base stand, so you will need to buy one. We plan on putting it inside our new picnic table in the backyard.￼ it can bend so in some hours you can provide better shade in different areas. The Neutral beige matches everything. The family enjoys it and I am very pleased with it.
