I have been looking for something like this for a few months but the cost of them is outragious. I found this umbrella in the sale section after I signed up for alerts via email. I love getting to see everyday what I can save money on. This umbrella is thin but sturdy, the only thing Im concerened with is it seems the woods is splitting at the top where the metal ring meets it. Im happy so far and had no issues with shipping or products Ive purchased.
