Great quality and HUGE! We read so many reviews to try and find the best umbrella for our new patio set. So many reviewers complained about wobbly fittings or broken pulleys or wires I was concerned that finding a high quality affordable umbrella was out of the question. While this umbrella surely is more expensive than alternatives, it definitely delivers in the quality department.

The cover fits well and looks great, the umbrella itself is sturdy metal and is HEAVY, and the raising mechanism is a metal wire which hopefully will last.

Very pleased! Make sure you get a sufficient base for this one though! Its big and definitely needs stabilization to be useful.
