Rather than being a single piece of fabric as most umbrellas are, this version has three rings of fabric. I don't know whether this is an optical illusion - i.e. one fabric with strategic "slices" - or if indeed they are three separate pieces of cloth.
No matter. However it is made, the overlapping concentric rings gives, in my opinion, a pleasingly "different" look to this item. I like it. I wondered whether the slats will allow rain to come through. Perhaps it will, especially if it is windy and the separate pieces might flap apart ever so much. But I know I don't tend to sit poolside during a rainstorm, so really, it is of no consequence to me whether this is actually a rain-worthy umbrella. Once we've been through a few rain storms, I can give an update to this review.
what this umbrella DOES do is give quite adequate shade from the sun - which for me is its primary use. While a person beneath the umbrella can tell there are slits between the rings, it does not allow light to come through - or if you can see a slit of sky from time to time, it is not nearly enough to be a distraction or otherwise fail to filter out the sunlight.
Overall, I get a kick out of this umbrella's style and am proud to show it off to friends and family. Five worthy stars.
Just received them and set up. Fabric material and pole/sprocket material seems excellent. Anxious to see how it does over time. Wish it came with covers of same fabric but I do like the product, (bought two).
This is just what I needed. It looks pretty, lots of shade. I like to sit under it when it rains. Only problem is the wind blows it over, but that isn't the umbrellas fault. Would buy again.
This umbrella made a great addition to our pool area. We like to position it right by the pool to create a shady area because our pool is in full sun. The cranking mechanism for the tilt works well, and I believe the vents help to keep it from blowing in the pool when the wind gusts hit it.

Simple and sturdy
Easy to assemble and looks wonderful- its been about a month and I dont see any signs of wear or breakdown. Love it!
Great quality umbrella.
Really like this umbrella. Great value for the money.
Good wind and rain resistance, with bright color
Hold up very well in strong winds… up to 30 mph. Also dries quickly after rain.
The three-tier style is a bit unusual - and attractive

Love the vents and tilting mechanism
