Good quality umbrella (I've been through many umbrellas, so I have something to compare it to). Here in San Diego the sun is brutal. I've had umbrella canopies disintegrate in a year's time. This one is UV protected and guaranteed for 5 years. We'll have to wait and see about the canopy.

Pros: Good construction. You can use pavers to weigh down the base instead of  purchasing expensive bases that don't do the job any better.
Cons: 10 ft. canopy obviously doesn't provide as much shade a the 11 ft. canopy my last umbrella had.
