I just received the umbrella so I can't comment on durability, but the colour, Sunbrella "Pacific Blue" is gorgeous and the material seems to be of high quality. The crank/tilt system is great! You just crank it to open, then continue cranking, and the umbrella tilts! No need to reach up high and fiddle with the top to try and tilt it. Unfortunately, my base arrived damaged, but Wayfair has already refunded my credit card. What awesome customer service! Now, to find another base so I can use this umbrella!
