This umbrella does not have a tie to secure umbrella when it is closed.  When it is windy, the umbrella lifts and has the potential to fly away.   I have had to tie a rope around the umbrella to keep it from flying away.  Also, the handle does don't stay secured in one place, it will unwind and the umbrella will go down.  I have have to find my own way to secure it so the umbrella stays up.  These two things may not seem like a big deal but when it comes to a functional outdoor umbrella, I think they are key.  Maybe spend a bit more to get these two features?
