This umbrella looks beautiful but here it is June 9 and it is broken.  I am so mad.  Went to put it up and the crank just kept turning so I looked underneath and the rope that pulls it up is gone.  Must be all wound up in the handle.  I was alway suspicious since the umbrella it self is pretty heavy and it's a struggle when you put it up to aline the centers together (you have to see it to understand what I'm talking about.) I am going to contact the seller on Monday and if they do anything about this situation I will update my review.
