I bought this one specifically because it was supposed to be a grey umbrella and black pole. That's in the specifications. The  umbrella is a rather beige-grey, and the pole is brown. It feels heavy duty, which is good except if you try to carry the box by yourself. I like that it came with the baseweight basins, but filling them with sand was a pain. I'm not dinging three item for the sand filling difficulty, but just plan on spending a lot of time filling. Maybe try to find super-fine very dry sand. That should help. It seems otherwise very easy to assemble
