Over the years we’ve purchased numerous umbrellas that don’t last but a season. Shade USA umbrellas have all indications that’s about to change!
The feel on the cranking is smooth and has a quality feel. All other construction is a higher quality. We ordered two of the same Protexture fabric, Tuscan. There are color inconsistencies, however; I am aware of die lot differences.
Bottomline - a superior product.
