I absolutely love it. Very nice size - larger than I expected. It covered an entire rectangular patio table. The umbrella is just the amount of weight. Also, as previous reviewers mentioned, the lights are dim; however, they make the backyard setting intimate and relaxing. I did have a problem with the lights when first plugging them up. They did not come on at first, but after adjusting the shade they popped no. No instructions were provided, so I had to figure out how and where to turn on/off the lights. Also, the cord for the light says "for indoor use" only. Go figure. (This is why it gets four stars instead of five.)
