I’m not crazy about the color. It shows better in the pictures, but the “burgundy” is really rather a brownish red. It’s sturdy, for sure. That center crank box is plastic. It has a more assessable switch than my last umbrella, and a more rounded bulb. I don’t know if it works, as we haven’t had enough sun to try them out yet. I’ll update the review after I’ve had a chance to observe.
