This is a great umbrella. I love the black and white stripes. It has a nice, solid feel to it and heft as well. It was super simple to install into my little table. It comes with two attachments, one of which has a swivel at the end and can be screwed directly into the ground. It did take a little muscle to open the umbrella in full, but not an unreasonable amount. It does come in a carrying pouch that fits it and the extra poles as well.
