Replaced a faded umbrella with this new lighted umbrella.  It covers nearly my entire deck. While the material is a bit thinner than the one it replaced, it seems very sturdy and withstood a fairly heavy rainstorm while I sat under it.  The wind never picked up too much, so I’m sure how it does with that. The hardware seems pretty sturdy, but only time will tell regarding longevity. The lights cast a nice glow to eat by, which is exactly what we were looking for- and the light isn’t too bright so as too ruin any date night ambiance. Assembly was very easy (nothing to assemble aside from putting in a stand- a stand that is NOT included with this product), and the solar panel was already connected, so not much to do with that. I highly recommend this umbrella if you are looking for a lot of coverage and nice atmosphere for dark dining and wine nights. Cheers!
