I love the colors and the quality of the fabric of the umbrella. The hand crank to open and close the umbrella is easy to use and I like that the umbrella can be tilted at an angle. We enjoy the feature of the LED lights, which is why I purchased it, especially that there is a separate switch to turn the lights on and off. Our only complaint is that the life of the solar battery cell is not very long...maybe an hour to an hour and a half at a full light and then it definitely begins to fade. We may try to upgrade this at some point in the future but over we love this umbrella!
