Do not recommend.  There is a single point of failure on this umbrella- a plastic sleeve that helps hold the umbrella in place.  It tore along the seam and now,while I can raise the umbrella, I can’t reposition it, so it is stuck in a vertical position. The plastic is far too soft to support the force of the arm.  This failure obviates the use of the umbrella and I will have to utilize my protection plan. I have had it for one week.  Was closed during wind and no storms or even rain.  Don’t waste your money.
