Ideal umbrella for our deck and eventually the patio we're putting in this year! The 10" canopy provides plenty of shade and feels nice and durable in addition to lightweight. This model arrived mostly assembled, so I had it installed in less than 15 minutes. After all our research, we went with this model because of the careful thought that went into the design. The base is sturdy, and the dual screws on the main pole make me feel better about it staying put in wind. The bracket connecting the canopy to the pole is iron, not plastic like some models. You can either secure it to the ground via holes at the ends of the crossbase, which is what I did, or buy weights separately. It was straightforward to figure out and crank up for shade in a matter of seconds. Feels and looks quality! Great compliments so far from our family and neighbors that have seen it.
