It's too early in the season for us to be using this product quite yet, but it was easy to set up, easy to take down (love that it has a case/cover) and looks really nice when up.  I wonder how durable it will be/how long it will last, as it is made of hard plastic and there is a bit of fraying already to the material of the umbrella, but it was a good price for what is certainly a very beautiful umbrella.
