It’s the most beautiful shade of blue. It has a nifty little solar panel so you don’t have to plug it in or drag out the extension cord. I can’t say how long it stays charged because the Sun has been shining  constantly so it’s always charging. 
The lights are nice and clear. Every arm has  4 clear lights built right in. 
The umbrella slides up and down the pole,you activate the slide with a pull handle that locks neatly. You slide it up to open and down to close. The umbrella opens up with a hand crank,very easy to use. 
It’s huge,I included pictures with my standard size broom as reference. And it’s
 HEAVY.  I’m a  5’3” female with a small frame and I can move the whole thing a short distance,but it’s not easy. 
It will have to be anchored,there is no way it could stand at all without some help. 
All in all it’s Gorgeous and energy saving and I love it!
