Am so happy with this parasol as have been trying for ages to find something I could use to give shade so that I can work on my laptop in my garden in this lovely weather, but was restricted by not being able to have a traditional full parasol.  This one is very well made & very sturdy and can be positioned up against a back wall & has two tilting options to use when the sun changes position.  I would recommend buying a heavy stand to support the parasol if you live, like me, on the top of a windy hill or high up in a block of flats.  Very, very pleased with my choice.
