I LOVED this umbrella!!!! Thought it was the greatest thing I have purchased on Wayfair… for 10 short wonderful weeks.  Everyone took pics of it, a no budget video was created under it, people constantly asked where they could buy one.  It was so much fun… until the umbrella abruptly, began to release all of its clear/tan plastic hula skirt like strings!  The little streamers clogged up the filter, the pool sweep choked, and the fun was over.  I’m so bummed.  I would love to have another, but fear it would break my heart and pool pump again.  So, it is with great sadness I warn others not to be suckered into its absolute cuteness.  We barely keep up with our dog shedding, but this little jewel sheds  it’s top off in less than 8-10 weeks.  *and the awesome zippered cover it comes with… the zipper broke the second time we tried to put it away.  - heart broken &
