Umbrella appears in good quality and the material presents as washable against bird droppings. I tested the sturdiness when open in the wind and was a little disappointed at the appearance of being less able to tolerate a strong wind. The bars that are the structure of umbrella and hold the lights are not as strong as I had hoped for the price. I do love the sturdy roller handle and the on/off switch for the lights. My final decision to purchase this umbrella were the lights, and the description of umbrella build.  I wanted a good quality umbrella, pretty to look at (though the only color left was tan) and could light up at night. The  price was moderate enough to hope for quality. I can only see how it holds up this season.
