Still good but thinner fabric than in years past.
I've been buying these TropiShade umbrellas for about 12 years. They typically last 3 or 4 seasons. At that point the fabric is noticeably faded and we want a fresh set of umbrellas. We usually buy 3 or 4 at a time. Because of the low price, I am ok with replacing them every few years. I've always bought the green ones, and the green fabric has always been quite thick. This time I bought 3 of the beige ones. The beige fabric is thinner and lets more light through. I think the green fabric of the past was higher quality. That said, I like the beige color and don't mind that more light gets through. I think the quality of the pole, cords, and other components is still the same as before. For the price, I think these are still a good value.
