This umbrella came in damaged packaging and was ripped. I ordered another and was told to keep or donate the other.  I donated it to a friend of mine who is on a low income.  She showed up the rip and we ended up placing the umbrella in a stand. On a sunny day, she had  the umbrella bent to shade from the sun. It was a bit windy. The umbrella did not like being at an angle and cracked in hald after being in this position for about 60 minutes. It basically wrecked it. She could not use it further so we disposed of it.
