So far I'm pleased with this umbrella, the color (Aruba) is a beautiful teal color (true to pics) and really gave our deck a vacation vibe. The fabric used is Sunbrella fabric and should hold up to the hot California sun (Sunbrella typically warranties it's fabrics for five years. The canopy is vented, which is nice if you are in windy areas. I don't love that the top fabric of the vent doesn't lay flat, but rather looks like a ruffle on the top of the umbrella. It's minor, but I dinged them a star for that and for the fact that there's no stop on the crank, which I worry will get over cranked one day by one of my kids. I thought the weather protecting cover was a nice touch, and easy to get on with the stitched in pole, but would have liked to see a drawstring closure at the bottom. Overall a great bargain!
