We bought our awning in spring of 2019. We assembled it and were very happy with the shade it provided and how it fit into the aesthetic of our outdoor area. 
This spring we found that the color had faded substantially. It was no longer a deep navy, but a faded gray. Still, it provided great shade. Last weekend, after maybe 14 months of use, on a day where we had barely 10 mph gusts (our napkins weren’t even blowing off the table), one of the arms holding up the awning bent and the awning came crashing down on us. Thankfully no one was hurt, but we were very disappointed that after such a short amount of time we are no longer able to use our awning.
