Our deck is surrounded by woods and is brown. I decided it needed a splash of color and bought an outdoor (RV type) rug and some pillows. Purchased this umbrella to add a little more color and keep the leaves from falling on us when we are dining on the deck. It arrived quickly, was packaged well, and the color is perfect for our rug (the photo online was a great representation of the color). Love the white pole and spines. So far, so good!
