We bought this just last summer (lasted 6 months) and not only did the hardware rust out but the rope snapped for the crank of the umbrella. To add on top of that we kept it closed and covered with an umbrella cover majority of the time. It wasn’t an everyday use where maybe you would expect wear and tear. So not only we have to throw it away because there aren’t parts to replace. But Keep in mind after the investment of the umbrella itself, the weights, and an umbrella cover it’s worth the money to go a better high quality brand that includes those pieces. Do not suggest purchasing unless your looking short term use.
