California Umbrella Allure Series Patio Market Umbrella in Olefin with Stainless Steel Pole Fiberglass Ribs

I purchased this for my daughter, for her patio in the Seattle, Washington Area. She has gone through many umbrellas over the years, and has never had one that has met her expectations. The wood poles have bent or broken, the hinges have malfunctioned and the poles have come loose from it. The construction of the umbrellas she has had in the past has been poor. HOWEVER - THIS PRODUCT SHOULD PUT ALL THOSE PROBLEMS IN THE PAST! It has a full metal pole, without a hinge to break; it has a great spreader mechanism and spokes; and the umbrella material looks really tough. In fact, the material is known to be very durable and long lasting. My daughter, and her family, are tickled with the new umbrella, and it went into service on Christmas Day, just minutes after the package was opened. Expect a looooong box, since the pole is one piece, without any joints to break. This is good news! I did a lot of research before buying this product, and it is superior to most, and Walmart offers it at a great price! I say, take advantage of my research and my daughters assessment, and just buy it...
