Functionally, the umbrella is great. The large size is really nice, and if you position it smartly you can get fantastic shade coverage. Aesthetically, it’s nice appearing and is a true navy blue color. The base is not as visually, appealing, but is very functional. You use weighted sandbags to keep the umbrella in place.

This umbrella is 15 feet wide. It goes together easily. You need to buy the sand to fill the bags (2) that go into the base. It’s a nice navy blue material with three tops. I was surprised at how easily it cranks up and down.

This is the perfect umbrella for our back deck. We needed something bigger than a regular sized umbrella. This works for our needs perfectly. We are west facing and have no trees or anything keeping the sun off us. I love the color and sturdiness. Put it where you want to begin with. It is not easily moved.
