This came super quickly and definitely exceeds expectations. It is not the dark blue color as appears in the photos, but I was pleased at the lighter blue/gray that matches our house trim. It wasn't rocket science to assemble but took a few minutes, and you definitely need 2 people to lift the umbrella into place. It says you can fill with both sand and water but we used only water and so far so good. We haven't tried to move it, and hopefully won't need to. Will likely also keep it closed at night. Now we just need some furniture to accompany!
