I had such high hopes!
I had such high hopes! The three umbrellas I ordered are quite nice, appear to be high quality and arrived in a reasonable amount off time. The offset imbrella’s bix arrived damaged without hardware, but Customer Service sent replacements right away. They have been on the deck from late Spring through early Autumn. They were advertised as water repellent, which was an important feature for us as I wanted to protect the patio cushions. They were clearly water repellent at the beginning of the season, but not by the end of the summer season. An equally important feature for us was the fact that they are advertised as UV resistant, sun proof and fade proof. We use black umbrellas and cheaper ones fade in just one season. Unfortunately, so did these. They are now a very faded black, looking more like a medium gray. Nice umbrellas, but failed in two important areas.
