There were some patches of color inconsistencies in some panels. But otherwise a marvelous green color! (although not as richly emerald as the picture shows - the fabric and lace are very mat/flat)

Locking metal bits were cheaply finished and somewhat sharp.

The shipping on Amazon is $10-$20 cheaper than on the seller's site.

Packaging was a little too thorough; the umbrella had a plastic sheath, then tubes of air as bubble wrap, wrapped twice with more plastic, and then shipped in a bag. All the plastic layers were taped or glues to each other. It took some careful cutting to get to the product!
