So while I really want to love this umbrella, it broke within a week so I am very glad I got the protection plan. We never leave it up in the wind and yet somehow two metal screws that keep the umbrella from rotating snapped while it was in the down position. Wayfair was great and immediately send a replacement so we will see how this one works! 4 stars because we are getting a replacement, but probably more like 3 stars because it should not have broken so quickly.
