I love this umbrella, besides having a pretty unique shape, it gives a very nice glow because it lets in the light but not the sun...I need to buy a stand for it so it stays put in the middle of the square table...

broke in the first wind storm, brass fittings difficult to line up

I bought three of these and the same thing happen with all three. They are so light that if there is any wind put it away. We where sitting at are table playing games and herd a noise and it was my patio umbrella. The wind pick it up and flew it iver are house and it ended in our front yard and of course it was broken. Very disappointed

I loved my new umbrella, but the wind got hold of it and it crashed. When it hit the ground it broke in several places. If it was not made of wood, that would not have happened. I should of ordered the aluminum one instead. ): I only had it a couple of weeks.
