What a bargain! After a long search in town and online, this is the only patio umbrella that offered a crank to lift and lower the umbrella and also the ability to tip so that you can take max advantage of the shade. 

I bought it a couple months ago and have really enjoyed it. No problems. If you have a large area to shade, such as a long rectangular table or you expect to have to shade a large area, I would suggest you get a larger size. Otherwise, I have no objection to this umbrella. If I take care of it well, I expect to enjoy it for a long time. The fabric is not thick or strong looking, so I will need to be careful not to expose it to too much wind or weather. Other than that, it is a fantastic product. The crank and button for tipping the umbrella work very easily. No problem.
