I took off one star as the quality of the material of the umbrella isnt the best, but it functions just as fine as others we have had so far. I like that this umbrella lets air-flow through is esthetically pleasing in our backyard. It was very simple to put together, and is easy to set up, crank up and crank down is all you really have to do. It does have an added bolt you can put through at the top to insure the umbrella doesnt fall, but we have only used it without and it works fine thus far. Because of the material for the umbrella, and us living in Phoenix, AZ where temperatures reach 120 degrees, I dont see this lasting more than 2-3 summers, but for the price point is where we needed it.
Beautiful and useful
