We actually just purchased our 2nd one of these.  We bought one last summer and loved it.  Great value for the price.  However, we left it out a bit too late in the fall for our West Virginia climate and heavy winds twisted the center pole and broke it.  This year we purchased a new one and my husband took parts from it and reinforced the old one .  We now have exactly what we want.  Because of this I would not recommend for areas with high winds.  Also, it would be nice if the drip holes were a slight bit farther up.  Water tends to pool in the 3rd section.
