Great value for the price. Purchased this as a second umbrella for a patio space, light weight material feels durable enough for our use. Key is the wind vent on top- essential for any umbrella in my opinion. Purchased in a light cream color, so the sun fading is likely to not be as noticeable. I will note that the way the separate pole pieces attach is through twisting- each end is threaded. I find this to be more common in umbrellas these days and it is annoying to take down as I prefer to store inside storage closet when not in use.
