Umbrella provides a good-size area of shade for those wanting it.  Like the ease with which the umbrella can be adjusted both up and down and side to side.  Picked neutral color which compliments the pool deck furniture. Only wish it had stabilizing straps like our old umbrella to control the swaying side to side when the wind is blowing.  Luckily we saved hardware from old umbrella to jerry rig something up on this one.
