So far so good. Nice texture and the stitching seems very solid and strong. The hardware was included and made installation easy. We are trying this out in New England so have been careful to take it down when the wind is up...it seems like it might not be able to take our winds!  It gives a nice swath of shade and has seen our picnic table area through a few light showers. Simple to set up as long as you get a cord or rope...took all of 20 minutes initially.
