The umbrella looks much nicer in person. Color is true to picture. Material is very nice. The finish on the handle is matte and surface is even which speaks to the quality of this. The fabric is well stitched as well. The spokes tack into fabric pockets snd looks neat. The lever handle to raise the umbrella and take it down operates smoothly and with not much effort. I wish it came with a base but I was able to find one very easily. Overall it’s a good buy.
