great quality, my dad (72 yrs old) and I put it together in half hour. It giver great shade and I went under to feel how it blocks temp from sun and it does a great job keeping you cool under hot sun temperatures. I do not know how well it will hold, because I just received a few days a go. I suggest for the people that live in States that have a lot of rain and or snow, to keep umbrella closed or even better put away.
