Umbrella looks to be well built, and pretty easy to position/fold/unfold. The material for the canopy could be a bit thicker but seems to be durable enough. I was hoping for more of a canvas type material at this price point but its not that thick.
A big plus on this umbrella is that its structure is primarily made from aluminum which precludes rusting. However, some brackets and small parts are steel and will rust over time. The base requires concrete weights to hold the umbrella in place. Weights are not included with this umbrella, but it doesnt look like they are included with any other umbrella either.
One issue I had out of the box was missing cranks that control the rotation and unfolding of the umbrella. support (via email) was quick to send out the missing cranks which was appreciated.
Pricey but seems pretty solid
