I love it!.My husband put it together by himself, but he is really strong and great at putting things together. It's easy for me to operate. I can easily open it, tilt it and swivel it with no help at all! The color is beautiful and the umbrella material is really nice, much nicer than the usual thin polyester. The twinkle lights are so cute and the middle light will be perfect to play cards or eat under the umbrella in the evening.
