I got the natural color and it's likes great. With this color I am less worried about color fading over rime. The fabric is thick but soft touch, doesn't feel plastic-like. The umbrella is of a reasonable weight, can be carried around by one adult. The built is quite good and it feels sturdy. There are only 2 parts to put together, very simple. You have to buy the base separately. I love the auto tilt function. It's so easy and useful. You just keep cranking the handle and there is a point of resistance that you need to get pass before the tilting start.
