What you get
You will get an umbrella that is made of Olefin fabric, this is one of the best fabrics for outdoor use, no stand is included with this purchase. It will be rated for 800 hours of outdoor use, depending on your outdoor environment. Having storage when not in use will extend the life of your umbrella and cushions, I have some suggestions on recommended storage solutions here.
The umbrella will have a square design that will have four sides. The umbrella is 81 inches from side to side and 97 inches tall without a stand. A 10 inch polyester floral band is sewn into the olefin fabric for a designer detail. The fabric detail will match the cushions on the chairs of this dining set.
The aluminum frame will never rust and has a powder coated finish. The pole will come in two parts and will tilt into three positions, it is 1.75 inches across. The crank will extend and lower your fabric canopy.
Use and care of your umbrella
This umbrella will make your Jade Avenue dining set complete. You will need to purchase an umbrella stand to use this umbrella properly, see some of my examples here. Having both the tilt and retract functions will make getting the proper shade for your dining easy.
When your umbrella needs cleaning, a simple solution of mild soap and water will be all that you will need. Do not use any harsh chemicals even glass cleaner as they will damage your painted surfaces. A clear liquid wax is recommended to make your metal parts shine.

This umbrella will match the fabric on the chair cushions for the Mainstays Willow Springs dining set. The fabric is Olefin and will stand up for at least 800 hours in outdoor conditions with proper care.

Use and care of your umbrella
Installing your umbrella should be done with some care. I have pinched my fingers a couple times trying to line up the bottom and top post. Once you lock the two sections of poles together, you can turn the crank to raise the canopy. When finished turn the crank to lower the canopy.
The materials on this umbrella can be cleaned with a mild soap and water. Do not use any harsh chemicals as it will damage the painted surfaces.

As it weighs only 5 pounds it is not as heavy as some of the stand that you fill with some kind of media or concrete. The design will match the design in the chair backs of this set.

My thoughts on matching your umbrella with your dining set
With outdoor home decor being just as important today as indoor decor, having matching patio dining set umbrella for your outdoor space will make your space pop. These umbrellas are color matched for the best fit.
Watch your fabric as these are made with the premium fabric Olefin and will fade if not protected from the elements. Inside storage is recommended for any time that you are not using your cushions or umbrellas. For larger storage solutions see my article here.
