Not happy with this umbrella. The pole that holds up the umbrella is not sturdy. It is made out of partial hallow plastic and metal, and having the umbrella open may cause it to break. The umbrella itself is a beautiful bright orange and has a magical feel at night when the lights are on, but what is the point if we cant even keep the umbrella open for long periods of time. It makes me nervous having the umbrella open during the day, especially in the hot Arizona sun. The pole bends and seems very unsteady and the although the umbrella has many different options of how to set it up to open (higher, lower, left, right) every time we moved it, it almost seemed like the pole was going to snap in two. I paid a lot of money for this, and really need it to deflect the hot Arizona sun, so I really really hope this purchase wasn't futile.
