I ordered the Navy Blue and after 3 years its fading. Also, the ribs of the umbrella come out of the pockets and have to be fiddled with every time I use it. Its okay but I dont think Ill replace it with the same item when the time comes.
Product had multiple broken pieces. Like the design and seems to work well. Wish we had purchased one that tilts. Will probably just keep it cause we are tired of returning defective products, looking for a new one, and getting another defective product. Defects do not affect the operation of the umbrella. This was our second umbrella purchased from that was defective. First was not the same brand. Poor quality seems to rampant everywhere.
Well constructed umbrella. However the canvas is too large for the metal splines. I have to manually reattach canvas on 2 to 3 splines because the top is slightly too big.
I had this umbrella for only 3 weeks and already noticed that it faded. Not sure if it will stay orange for the rest of the summer. My last umbrella did the same. Must be made in China.
Only put up long enough to check it out, then returned it. And it had already been returned by another customer (it was re/taped, and still had their shipping label on it).
PROS: Beautiful heavy canvas/look poly fabric; Perfect color orange I wanted; Easy to crank; Attached velcro tie; A true 10 diameter.
CONS: Sitting under it with the sun out, I seriously needed sunglasses. It gave off an uncomfortably bright orange glow that was cast onto my skin and everything nearby, even into the adjacent room (made me wonder about UV rays coming through also); When fully opened, the holes to insert the pin for added safety were above the rib joint, rendering it unusable; The corner ends of the square ribs were sharp, so would probably tear through the pockets pretty quickly unless caps could be found to fit over ends.
So far so good and used on an elevated deck over this weekend. It was supported by a heavy base. In the near future I will apply scotch guard for added protection.

Not Bad
I ordered the Navy Blue and after 3 years its fading. Also, the ribs of the umbrella come out of the pockets and have to be fiddled with every time I use it. Its okay but I dont think Ill replace it with the same item when the time comes.
It is supposed to fade resistant but is already fading in color!
Faded color and was not supposed to!
Came broken

Performs the desired service
Well constructed umbrella. However the canvas is too large for the metal splines. I have to manually reattach canvas on 2 to 3 splines because the top is slightly too big.
Overall good, crank handle seems to be in wrong place
Crank handle is too high on the pole, under the umbrella. When collapsed, very difficult to get to and turn the handle. Overall a decent umbrella
nice
like the chained pin protection, helps to take the tension off of the cord when in use. Glad we purchased this one.
FADES EASILY

Wanted to love this, but had to return

The Sellers are Upstanding People
If you have any issues at all with your order they work fast and generously to make it right. The umbrella is great.
Good coverage and friendly blue color.
