The color "natural" does not imply a very pale, almost white, off-white color to me. That's what color it is. When the umbrella is fully extended (as pictured) it will tip over. So minus one star for each misrepresentation.  We will have to use sandbags or pavers to prevent it from tipping over.  Hoping after a summer of use in SoCal that it holds up ok, otherwise it will be a complete waste of $$$. Maybe you get what you pay for!
