I loved it at first! It looked great, and it APPEARED to be durable. The day that we used it for the very first time, a gust of wind caught the umbrella, knocked over our table and completely destroyed the umbrella. We couldn't even lower the umbrella--the crank became inoperable. We had to literally dismantle the umbrella in order to dispose of it! Very dissapointed in this purchase. We didn't get to enjoy it all!!
