Great umbrella!! It was super easy right out of the box. Just insert the bottom pole into the top and you are good to go. The umbrella is light weight so I was able to set it up myself. I popped it into the umbrella stand and all I had to do was crank it open. It was easy to crank and easy to tilt. I love the color and the fact that it is sunbrella material. It is a great size for over a dining table and provides great shade. Overall very happy with this umbrella!!
