Good sized umbrella and looks the way it is pictured. However, a little flimsier and thinner quality than I was hoping. It will do the trick for providing shade but I would not leave it out all year without properly covering it as it would not survive the elements. The LED lights are small so I’m not convinced they’ll provide a ton of light but I haven’t used it at night so I can’t say for sure. FYI no base is provided so you’d need to purchase that separately to reduce it from twirling/turning with wind.
