Just what I was hoping for!  It's sturdy and holding up to the elements so far.  The only issue I've had with it at this point is that I can't get it to close all the way.  It's like it won't completely wind down.  I'm just thinking that it's so tight that it just needs to work it's way out a little bit.  At least I'm hoping that's that case.  At this point and giving the slight issue with not closing all the way, I'd rate it a solid 4 out of 5.
