UMBW 10-Foot Deluxe Umbrella, Navy

Great quality but the accents are in stainless steel not in brass. The tips have stainless steel caps and the spoke underneath are a bit different (Still teak) but no brass accent and the brass on the pole in the photo is stainless steel. I notified the company. They said it is a new version of the umbrella and didn't realize the photo wasn't updated. They said the fabric is an Olefin Fabric. Also, please note this is a pulley system-easy to put up and down but the ropes are very long when up and either need to be wrapped around the pole at top or put on top of the spokes. They have yet to update the photos on Amazon so added a few.

This patio umbrella is very hard to open, just does not glide up like my old one that I had, but got damaged in storm. Also, this is NOT waterproof. You litteraly feel the rain drops when you are sitting under it and it is raining.

First a description of the photos. The teak is poor quality. In the first photo, you can see the stainless nut/bolt combo, but the nut is sunken into the teak cross member. A washer should have been installed on the nut side. If this was quality teak, the nut would not be able to be compressed into the wood.Teak is a hardwood. The second photo shows voids in the wood at the break point.The third, fourth and fifth photos show a bigger picture of the failure.The sixth photo is of high quality teak I salvaged from the umbrella I had for over 20 years that was damaged by a freak storm. The umbrella was picked up by 60+ MPH winds, pulled from the base, and tumbled 30 feet, snapping the braces. That umbrella was from another manufacturer that is no long in business, you can see the wood is dense and I can attest it’s still oily after 20 years.The umbrella I purchased, well, the teak is dry and, given the construction techniques used, prone to failure.So, you might ask how I know all this? How can I identify these issues? I do durability engineering for a living. I get paid to find the weakness in a product.My recommendation? Find a different product. This one isn’t going to last and the support, while timely, they expect you to do your own repairs and the quality just isn’t there.I don’t make a habit or writing reviews, positive of negative. I just don’t have time for it. This product rates zero stars.

Not at all satisfied. I wrongly assumed the material was similar to Sunbrella and would withstand the sun. Not so. After one season, the navy blue now looks like washed out gray. Very disappointed

I loved these when they arrived, they appear to be well built and a tremendous value for the money. Not so.Yesterday, while raising one of the two I bought one of the radial arms snapped off at the point in was bolted to the lifting arm. This morning I noticed the second umbrella has a crack in the collar where the lifting arms meet.Amazon offers a 30 day return policy but is silent on a warranty. We received these on July 14, 2020 and today is August 16. :(
