I bought this umbrella in March 2024. We did not start using it until this week because the weather only just turned so we needed it.  The umbrella itself and stand are nice to look at but you can crank the umbrella open but it does not stay up. It clicks in place like it will stay open then it slowly falls back to closed position. I see the return period is 30 days only so I am out of luck returning it and it is now end of May. So needless to say I am very, very disappointed in the product.
