Keeping this short and sweet. Beautiful umbrella. Keep water away. Will eventually soak thru a bit if left out open too long. It is everything as advertised. Crank left (close) Crank to the right (open). Umbrella frame is sturdy (metal) has great coating of brown color. Crank works great. Tilt works fine and now I realize that I dont really need to use it, since the sunrise that I was worried about is already above the umbrella line. I have the 10 foot side going from me on one covering a bench all the way to the other. I put the umbrella on a previously built umbrella base I made, (ceramic base with cement and pvc pipe connector and rubber adapter to connect umbrella. I use btw, the same umbrella cover that I used on some older umbrellas a had about 10 years ago and lasted that long. Fits perfectly and used a pc tubes that connect together to put on amd take off umbrella, (Protective covers 1174-TN) 8.5 x 11 about $35 bucks. Anyways, heres to the short review...Simply a great product.
