The size is really large like I needed.  The color was perfect, exactly as shown with the choices.  It took less than a minute with one person to put together.  No assembly just put one pipe in the other and it is done.  The one thing I did not try was how to make is angle.  I did not try it as I wanted to see the color outside in the yard.  The directions look like it should be easy but it is just pictures showing how to make it angle. I included the directions in the photos.  Nice umbrella top.  It does not come with an umbrella holder nor does the description says it does.  You will need to have your own base.
