I ordered 2 of these 9' umbrellas in 2020 and saved them til this summer 2021. Loved the color (green). So this summer I put them up for use and right away I noticed that when I cranked the lever to open the umbrella, the mechanism of the body web attached to the fabric would not clear the tilt metal mechanism and I had to push the web up and over that and continue cranking to open the umbrella totally. After using the umbrella and opening and closing it maybe 15 times, the umbrella would no longer open or close. And then the problem happened to the second umbrella as well. Having the umbrellas in my posession for over a year, I just threw one out and will soon throw out the second one. So although they look great, I would not recommend these umbrellas at all to anyone.
