seems like a nice umbrella, have not used much yet; however, color is more green- not exactly like in picture.

Almost perfect: only missing one feature
We LOVE this patio umbrella and searched far and wide for one that was durable and well made as well as affordable and it meets & exceeds our expectations. I would rate this umbrella 5 full stars if it had the tilt shade feature on the pole otherwise you can not go wrong. Side note: would also have liked to have had a few choices in fabric color but it is a pretty neutral color thus will match a lot of different patio furniture sets easily. Our set is tan and black and they look great together.

wish this umbrella had come with a stand
I wish this umbrella had come with a stand, but other than that am pleased with it.

BIG umbrella
Great umbrella and matches cushions perfectly. Very large; provides a lot of shade. Only downside is whenever it rains the umbrella gets soaked and takes a long time to dry out due to the fabric material.

Nice Umbrella
When I received this umbrella I had a bit of a hard time getting it to open up when I turned the hand crank. Whatever you do, don't untie the little rope on the inside of the umbrella, just keep cranking it hard until it pops open (mine felt like it was going to break while cranking it, but it finally popped open). The umbrella perfectly matches the same material on the cushions for the Martha Stewart Pembroke seven piece dining set. It's a rectangular shape like the Pembroke table is, and blocks the sun pretty well. I haven't had any problems, but I've only had it for two weeks. It's a nice looking umbrella, seems sturdy, and is doing the job so far. This umbrella does not come with an umbrella base, so plan accordingly.

Waiting to see....
Our umbrella arrived damaged and since we purchased the matching dining set and seating set we need this umbrella! We do have a local Home Depot so I'm on my way to return it and get a credit. The online customer service is shipping a new one and re-charging my card. If it all goes as planned, I'm happy.

Poor design
The pins that hold the frame together pop out rendering the umbrella useless. Not the quality I expected with a Martha Stewart endorsement.
