These were cute at first and for a few weeks I didn’t have an issue. About a month has gone by since I put them out by my pool and I can honestly say they are the WORST umbrellas ever! They shed so bad! My pool, patio and entire backyard is covered in the plastic thatching. It’s too late now to return them. They are making such a huge mess I may need to get rid of them. These were a complete waste of money. Don’t by them unless you have a blower and want to blow plastic around your yard on a daily basis. Not eco friendly either!!
