We've had our umbrella up for over a month now and it is fabulous. It's very sturdy and can handle just about any strong wind. We've had recent storms move through with some very high winds, and it tolerated the gusts with ease. But,A  precaution, I will lower the umbrella when storms are again in the area. The green color is very pretty, and we are absolutely pleased with Wayfair service and the product we purchased. I would highly recommend it as a very good buy. So feel free to purchase a high quality, and very affordable outdoor umbrella.
