The directions to put this together were terrible. Took me in all about two hours. It is sturdy that is a plus. Had I known how hard it would be to assemble I would have bought a preassembled one at the local greenhouse.
The thread of the pouch that holds the metal ends of the umbrella unraveled and won't stay within the pouch. Only had it for 3 weeks. Luckily I am domesticated and can sew.
We set this up today and the entire umbrella spins with the slightest gust of wind. Not idea when you have a row of lounge chairs you are trying to shade.
