I purchased this umbrella as an end of season bargain. We are starting winter here so after I opened the package and determined that it had arrived undamaged, I promptly put the umbrella away til next year. For that reason, i cant say how long this umbrella will last or talk about how its withstood wind and storm. I can say:
1) it looks just as its shown in the photo....color and design.
2) the fabric is lighter than your average canvas umbrella...sort of like the material used in a windbreaker.
3) the crank and tilt mechanisms are very similar to the ones found on a more expensive umbrella which I already own.
4)the fit between the two sections of the pole is tight.
5)its a nice looking umbrella.
6) its certainly worth the $43 I paid for it.
7) it arrived as promised, on time.
8) i wont give it 5 stars only because I cant say how well constructed it is without using it for a while and I wont be doing that til next spring.
Wish I could write a more helpful review, but thats all I have.
