So far, it is really nice.  It seems well built, but- by the very way it is built you most definitely will need to have some weights or stake it to the ground.  That is the disappointing part- it has holes in the feet where you could clearly stake it to the ground (or drill bolts into a deck) but the stakes nor screws were included.  That would have been a nice touch.  So far, on a non breezy day it is holding up well and the shade (we chose brown) is good quality and provides excellent shade.
