The umbrella was just the bright color I was looking for. It came expertly wrapped when shipped. There were nice reinforced edges so that there was no chance of damage. 

The umbrella is large and covers my four person metal table. 

The only reason I gave it a 4 out of 5 is because the base of the umbrella is painted metal. When I pull it in and out of my table and table stand, it does scratch and pull the paint off.
This was not a problem with past umbrellas, as they have been wood bases. No real worry though, the scratched parts are under the table by your feet.
