This umbrella is incredibly easy to put together, I managed this in less than 30 minutes. The color is exactly as shown on the website. They have lots of color options.. They are light and airy and offer some shade while still allowing plenty of light in. This style of umbrella is definitely modern and the 10 inches offers a good amount of shade and once it's put together  it is beautiful.  The modern look and feel are very nice. All in all I'm happy. It is a steal for the price and I recommend.
