It creates good shade with its size, but the construction is fake. With the first gust of wind, all the seams that hold the metal rods inside the umbrella were cut, and also after 5 uses, the handle is now useless as the mechanism that holds it is completely fake, and I had to order another handle. I should have bought the Maui and Sons one. It had a width of 2.10, but the quality of construction was day and night. A friend brought it to the beach and everything from the handle to the metal rods inside the umbrella was of high quality and sturdy. This was a bad purchase, I regret it
