With the exception of the tilt feature, everything else about this umbrella is great so far. Next time we will not opt for a tilt because unfortunately it results in the entire unit being much less sturdy than it otherwise would be. Once the tilt locking mechanism broke with a light breeze, the whole umbrella was compromised. Now we cannot reinforce that section (the tilt) without being unable to lower or raise the umbrella.
tilt feature not recommended!
