Thrilled with this umbrella! It looks very nice. Fabric is much thicker and much better quality than the flimsy kind you commonly see on cheaper umbrellas. In fact, fabric and style looks much more upgraded than the price would reflect. This umbrella was so easy to put together that my husband did it entirely by himself in a very short time. It’s easy to move, position, open & close. Mechanisms operate smoothly and conveniently. Was packaged well and arrived in perfect condition in a timely manner. No missing or misaligned pieces. Would recommend this umbrella to anyone interested in purchasing a stylish, well-made, well-engineered umbrella at an extremely affordable price (I got it on sale for under $300 with tax and shipping; not sure what the actual price was without sale).
