This umbrella looks nice in pictures. However, it is difficult to raise into position, and very manual. You need to lift the umbrella and then secure using a plastic latch, then crank out the umbrella to full position. It is awkward, and it hits the sides of my deck and flower pots until it is raised. It is very manual, and the umbrella itself is suspended by a string, so it swings in the breeze.  A Major issue is the weight. You need to have base weights or do not even think about turning your back on this one. I am really not happy with this purchase at all. 

Pros: Nice color
Cons: Hard to set up into raised position. Needs base weights.
