I love the umbrella, however, it's VERY difficult to pull it up high enough to get the pin through the hole in the pole. I'm hoping that the fabric will stretch a little so that it's not so hard to put up.

Looks better from a distance. Not a fan of the plastic finial and the seams are not lined up behind the umbrella ribs. I wish the ties were separate rather than hanging down. The pulley system works well.

This is a wonderful umbrella, I now have two. The other (same brand is on its 5th year and looks like new. We have two seating areas around the pool. When it rains, you can sit under the umbrella and stay dry.

Very good quality. The finial is a bit weird.
