The Kronqui 9’ Market Umbrella came very nicely packaged, once out of the box it was very easy to assemble, just push the bottom pole on til it clicks. I really like the unique tilt feature as all you have to do is when it’s open just continue to crank and it tilts with the crank. We have used this market umbrella in the last rain downpour and it worked perfectly. It really is a nice umbrella.
