The umbrella arrived on time and looks just as described. Assembly was quick, although I had to go to the hardware store because required washers were missing from the hardware package that came with the umbrella. 
Couple of things to be aware of if decide to buy this:
- the base is very heavy and there are no wheels. you won't be able to move it around much, so as the sun moves, the shade area will move as well. also when I was moving the base around the deck to find a perfect position, I scraped the paint of the deck. not ideal...
- the umbrella position is fixed, so you won't be able to turn the umbrella unless you turn the base (see above - base is super heave and will scrape your deck).



Pros: Nice design
Cons: no wheels and doesn't turn
