I really expected to enjoy this umbrella. When it came it was a great color, Brown, and seemed very sturdy.  After just a few weeks, the top that naturally is exposed to the sun is now green, while underneath is still the nice brown color. The sturdy part kind of needs quite a bit of help to keep from ending up sideways from very little wind. I have it bolted down to my deck with 4 lag bolts which hold the frame upright very nice, but I have twine attached to 5 places on the umbrella that hold it steady and connected to my railing. The breeze doesnt need to be more than just a light breeze to blow this umbrella around. I guess you get what you pay for. Too bad too, because the first day I installed it my neighbor saw it and loved the look and ordered the same one in a different color. Hasnt had the chance to bolt it down and use it yet, but I think I may have an unhappy neighbor soon.
