The center support bowed immediately; center brass screw insert/pole connection points not wide enough to support umbrella post, not base pole on either side. Center posts should have been stronger. Tipped over heavy cast iron table twice whether umbrella opened or closed. When umbrella is closed, then reopened is a struggle to reinsert splines into fabric pockets. Fabric very heavy. I have owned many market umbrella, center supports on this are very weak. Not balanced or strong enough for the tiered umbrella fabric or width. dangerous to anyone seated at table or standing nearby. Dropping off to warehouse.
Extremely top heavy when open or closed.
