GREAT and WORTH IT !! umbrella set, thru wind, and rain, I have not tried the blazing Sun (104 and the heat index is rising) although I will tomorrow. I was looking to purchase another set then I pulled out the ones I bought in 06. EXTREMELY STURDY!! I've had plenty of umbrellas but not like these.

I bought this umbrella initially for my mom but thought about it and got one for myself also only for both to failed. Never again.
