My umbrella arrived a day early, so that's nice. However, it came a bit banged up and some pieces broken. There's also a ton of lint and strands of other fabric all over the umbrella. So far it works, even with the broken pieces. Doesn't appear to be any bigger than my other 9' square cantilever umbrella.

**Update after a few weeks with the Umbrella
The center of the unit has a metal ring that keeps the umbrella's arms in place. That ring has busted. The umbrella hasn't even received much use since it was delivered. Also, just from the little usage, the upper part of the main mast has bent pretty badly at the plastic round part. I'm not even angry. Just disappointed in myself for thinking I could get a good product of this type for under $300.

If you can afford to save a little, then do it. These cheap umbrellas just aren't worth it.
