This is solid and attractive, but the cylinder that holds the umbrella seems to loosen and become wobbly over a few days. Since I have it in a table, this isn't a major issue, but a minor annoyance.  Also, as another reviewer mentioned, the little spaces at the top will fill with water when it rains.  When you live in mosquito country, like I do, you must be vigilant about removing the standing water ASAP.  I would probably choose a different design if buying again, but I didn't want the hassle of returning this. It'll do.
