This umbrella malfunctioned and broke after 1-year of use (really 6 months as it's stored in the winter). We were initially very happy with our purchase in July 2022. However, just a year later, the rope connected to the hand crank snapped leaving the umbrella to fall on my family sitting underneath. The product comes with a 1-year manufacturer warranty. As luck would have it, this product malfunctioned just a week after that warranty had expired. Word to the wise, make sure to purchase additional protection or you will be spending the money for a new one next year! Very disappointed in the durability.
