I bought 2 and didn't know what to expect due to the price point. Was pleasantly surprised with this purchase.  Some small defects: They did not fit through the umbrella hole of my tables, a bit top heavy even in a cement base and the buttons to hold the poles together didn't pop out properly, to keep said poles in place.  None of these were a deterrent though.  The price makes these small flaws, just that...small.  Only disappointment was the shipping.  They were advertised with 2-day shipping and it took almost 4 days for them to arrive.
