Our umbrella was closed, weighed down with the recommended weights, and fell over and broke during the first rain storm. We hadn’t even opened it to use yet. The steel base bent and now the umbrella doesn’t stand up straight and cannot be used. This was a complete waste of money. I would give 0 stars if I could. We purchased a different umbrella from Wayfair at the same time and it survived the storm. This one must be cheaply made.
