The locking mechanism for the two poles didn’t click properly, so that I couldn’t store the umbrella when it wasn’t in use. I contacted the company, who essentially said “pull it apart, really hard“, which didn’t work, and I gave up. Then, a gust must have caught it, because it bent in half, at a right angle, right where the locking mechanism didn’t lock.

So, shoddy construction, laughable customer service, and for over $300, you think the quality would’ve been better. Two stars, because well, at least the color was pretty.
