Have only had it two days.  It is about 3 out from house and has turned so the flat side is not aligned with the house.  Last night we had a helacious thunder  lightning storm with mega winds so we closed the umbrella.  It may stay put in normal conditions.  Once we remove the narrow garden bed next to the house, it will sit closer to the house.  We bought the umbrella to use once the garden bed is gone.
