This is a very sturdy umbrella with a great handle mechanism.  It cranks smoothly and stays put.  The fabric is a beautiful color and is very durable—appears waterproof although we haven’t tested it yet in the rain!  It is a large enough size to block the sun yet doesn’t need the super heavy duty stand which saved on room and portability.  We will store this conveniently in the box when not in use as it folds very compactly.
