I'm impressed. I dislike nothing about this umbrella. This is what a patio umbrella should be, nothing cheesy. It is a large super high quality elegant addition to our patio. I expect this will last for a very long time, on the order of 10-20 years if well cared for. My guess is that the stitching will fail from UV exposure before the fabric or the frame have problems. The canopy is Sunbrella fabric, which is hard to beat. The frame thick and substantial and well constructed with lots of fasteners. When the umbrella is deployed it is very rigid with no flex or bending. It is nearly all metal, mostly aluminum, except for the end caps on the tubes which are plastic. That's ok...as it is an appropriate place for a plastic part. Nothing structural is plastic. Read More
