We have used the umbrella for about 2 weeks now and we are very satisfied with it.  The wide coverage provides a wonderful amount of shade, and the umbrella is a good match for our rectangular table.  You should make sure you have a heavy base for this umbrella, otherwise, if the wind catches it, the umbrella could fly down the block in no time flat!  The materials and construction seem quite good, so if you take care of this umbrella, it looks like it will last for a long time.
