Only used the umbrella a few times so far. Cranks well and still yet to use at night. Testing lights and seem to be working. Only downfall of this umbrella is it does not have a velcro strap to hold together when not in use. First umbrella I have purchased without this feature? We are using a bungie cord - which works but would have preferred the attached strap. If the company reads this - recommend they add this :o). Shipping time was good considering the COVID situation.
