I ordered this in the Space Gray to go with a black wrought iron outdoor antique cafe set that had dark gray cushions.  It arrived promptly and I was quite impressed with the quality of the pole as well as the fabric.  The color was perfect ... I didn't want black nor a medium gray.  This is even deeper than a charcoal gray and the fabric is heavy and doesn't allow the sun to shine through.  What I loved most is the automatic tilting feature.  I hate those tilting umbrellas that you have to be 6' tall to reach up and press that little button in to be able to tilt the umbrella.  This one tilts as you continue to turn the crank handle.  Genius whoever invented this feature!!  I also note that the ribs are sturdy and thus far have withstood mildly windy conditions.  I think I will get a pair of solar lights to add a nice ambiance when I sit here at night.
