I love this umbrella! It’s so easy to use with the pull system. I’m 5’1” and can easily use this umbrella. It’s aesthetically beautiful, the White provides a very nice cool shade while keeping it light without using a heavy dark color in the sun which normally makes me hotter just looking at. The wood and gold details adds a very lovely cabana feel to the white umbrella, it’s overall a great purchase. I’m happy with the size as my deck is about standard in size. I use a white rope to keep the umbrella tied since it does not come with one but that is something I do for personal preference and purchase a rain cover for it separately to keep it nice.
