As long as you are not expecting something that is going to last 10 years, than you are good with this thing. I am thinking maybe 3 or maybe 4 years. What does that mean? It means it works great right out of the box, but you sort of get the feeling from the heft and the function that something will break after sitting in the elements in the summer time for 3 years. I am very happy with our unit though. Color goes with my siding and deck. And it does a great job of blocking out the sun...dont know what the spf would be but probably like at least 50. So, if you are a prime member and what a decent umbrella cheap...this is it.
Good Value...
