Would recommend with cautions Good quality for money, however ordered a tan umbrella I got a navy blue umbrella Not advisable if wind is a factor in area of use, like over 8 miles an hour Spokes for umbrella are flexible and due to the size wind can turn the umbrella inside out. Fortunetly for us it is durable enough not to break, at least the first two times of being inverted. Creates large shaded area Serves its purpose when the weather is calm
