The umbrella was "on sale" marked down to $299.00. The fabric quality is marginal. I ordered Beige and fabric is a funky beige- more on the brownish color of beige.
The aluminum base, support and ribs are not very strong. There is a lot of bend and sway when maneuvering the umbrella to different positions.  The locking mechanism of the 360 degree turn pedal does not lock firmly. The umbrella was fairly ease to assemble, instructions were easy to follow. The umbrella does come with a cover which is a nice bonus.
