This is the most well made umbrella I've ever purchased!  And that's quite a few since we live in the sunny state of FL. The two pieces actually screw together instead of the typical snap construction so it's exceptionally sturdy. The crank is solid and the material is great quality. I don't expect the red to hold its color for long since I have to buy a new umbrella each year but we'll see. You can't beat the price. Don't hesitate!
