Very nice umbrella.  Due to the extreme heat this summer, we decided to buy another umbrella so we could sit outside more.   We noticed that the fabric on the umbrella was damaged in a couple of areas but not a big deal.  The lights work and are very nice.  The quality of the crank is poor compared to our other 3 year old umbrella.  We also noticed as soon as we put it up that the steel pole is not study and we have to be aware of wind speed.  We feel it would break quite easily.   Hopefully taking the extra care, it will last a couple of summers.
