I love the look of this umbrella and the solar light feature. The lights are pretty dim but I just like them for the ambiance. It cranks out and in nicely. The tilt button is pretty high up on the stem of the umbrella so I have to stand on a stool or chair to reach it, which is kind of inconvenient and the reason for four stars. My old umbrella automatically tilted when you kept cranking, which I liked better.
