I loved the color and double skirt with its white ribbing.  However, it surprised me that when closed there are no ties to tie the umbrella closed.  I have to use a scarf to keep it closed.  You would think for such an expensive umbrella it would have ties.  If I want to tilt to avoid some sun at it isn't tilting in the right direction I have to loosen it from the stand.  Other umbrellas I've gotten have a mechanism which moves the tilt from the post.  Again, this would make the purchase more enticing.
