overall I'm impressed however there are things that could be improved with the general construction of unit.  the colour i chose was i believe the sandy grey. it faded in the sun quite substantially during the summer and is now more of a dusty purple. the handle and all adjustment points are made of plastic so they have white wear marks already where the pressure points are. not an umbrella that can be put up with any type of breeze. for the price point i paid, quality was about what i expected.
