I just got this and had it assembled.  Overall quality seems pretty good, but 2 design flaws that I can see already.   Directions say to keep covered when not in use, but you need a ladder to put the cover on it (slips over the top).  Poor design for long term use.   Also, the clip that functions as a safety to keep the umbrella up is very flimsy and difficult to pull out.  I can see this bending after a couple of uses.
