Highlights
Quality
The quality seems good and its simple to assemble
The quality seems to be about as one would expect
The quality of the canvas is just so so but it is easily replaceable with better fabric
The build quality is about average the pole and umbrella frame are metal while the cylinder and handle are plastic
Price
This one for the price is nice
We purchased another umbrella earlier this season and the price was comparative to this one
Quality isnt amazingly superb but the price is in line with that
Packaging/appearance
It was ready to use right out of the box
Umbrella pretty much work right out of the box no setup needed
Competitiveness
I was hesitant about ordering this patio umbrella simply because it was about half the cost of all the competitors but wow its amazing
Made of heavy duty sunbrella fabric it should last for several seasons without major fading or deterioration
I purchased two of the same 9ft versions in different colors they are nearly identical and look quite nice for the price
