Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this umbrella as I have friends who use the same brand but smaller size. I was impressed with it. My photo says it all. It blew over and completely inside out after one hour on the beach. The metal supports twisted and bent so badly that we could not right it and close the umbrella even after removing the material in an attempt to recover it. Left it at the side of a dumpster at the beach because it was too mangled to get back into the car or my friends SUV. The wind flaps were down to allow good flow but it did not help. Wind speeds were 16 mph with gusts to 20 mph. Going to buy something much sturdier next time. This was a grand $55 disappointment. I understand not all umbrellas can take winds like that but it didn't expect it to be so fragile that I couldn't turn it inside out and fix it.
