The umbrella is big but I wish the base of it was not in the middle. It should be on the outside so it is out of the way from my middle table that I have to put to the side. The umbrella has to be in the middle to get it to cover my small patio chairs.
I love the size and the portability. It was easy to put together and looks nice on my back porch. I wanted something to grow herbs and chose this planter.
Umbrella arrived quickly however it was missing the base. Wayfair is sending new one. Umbrella material is not as thick as I thought it would be. When we get base and can open will report more.
We haven't done anything with this yet. Still working on finishing project so we can install handrail. Shipping was fast. Will try to update review after install.
