Title: I wouldn't buy this again
Product review: The pluses for this umbrella: the size, the tilting feature, the neutral color, the comparative value, free shipping with Amazon Prime (this motivates a lot of my purchase choices). The minuses: it does not provide much shade, the crank handle is difficult to operate, AND one spoke popped through the material on the very first use! My husband was able to fix the umbrella, but he noted that it was shoddily constructed and needed substantial reinforcement. Why didn't we return it? Not worth the hassle. Were it to do all over again, I'd skip this umbrella and purchase another.
