The umbrella is prefect for our patio and will be great during the hot summer months.
A couple of items were damaged during shipping, but they were not significant and did not require us to return the item.
E.g. the bottom steel pipe was a bit bent at the end, but we were able to straighten it with a large wrench.
The other issue involved the top cover - it was completed smashed and could not be used.
Fortunately we were able to adapt another spare cover (all of which are plastic) to do the job, using gorilla tape to secure.
Otherwise, the umbrella is a nice product and we would recommend it.
