I loved this umbrella until it died. The material was nice, and it seemed like a quality product. One day while we were using it (maybe 2 months after purchase) we adjusted the tilt so that the sun would be blocked. I walked away for less than a minute, and a gust of wind knocked it over and essentially ruined it. I was able to revive it by filing down some areas that were protruding and not allowing the umbrella to raise and lower. It seemed like the problem was solved. We used it for another 2 1/2 months on a daily basis, but one day while  I was at work, it literally snapped in half. Luckily it didn’t kill our little glass table, but it completely died. We had no high winds or anything unusual. I’m giving 3 stars because the material was nice, and I loved the color, but other than that it seems like it’s not the quality product I thought it was.
