The umbrella is great and the color (green) is perfect.  It was difficult to tell, however, from the descriptions that the base is sold separately.  I looked through things and several umbrellas mentioned it very clearly in the description.  I couldn't find that information for this so it seemed to come with it.  When it arrived, it didn't have the base, so we had to order that separately (almost as expensive as the umbrella itself), and now have to wait again to be able to use the umbrella.
