When I first got this umbrella I was very excited it was just what my patio needed. I loved the color and the size. Just putting things away as the weather is getting cooler. I’m am very disappointed with how much this umbrella has faded in just one season. My previous umbrella that I bought at a grocery store at a much cheaper cost lasted me years and is still good but I needed a larger one and different color. The fading also happened to the other patio smaller umbrella I Purchased from you this year. Big disappointment. !!!!!!
