The build quality is fine, the gray lacquered metal frame looks like an umbrella and acts similarly thin, but should hopefully be sufficiently stable. Wind the shield may not gotten too much, then the manufacturer recommends it to close. Similar to many umbrellas, the struts are frequently the weak point even with umbrellas. He spanned well as an umbrella, above the plastic slider must accordingly engage in the holder provided. For smaller people, the clamping is a challenge, I'm not getting him on alone. A crank would be there in any case sensible, but not apparently provided with simpler models.
The fabric makes a stable impression. It is easy to clean of easy-care polyester and dries quickly after a rain shower. With an SPF of 50 one is already relatively well protected. The color is much darker and not as strong as shown. The fabric is stitched with a ribbon, the individual struts are inserted at the edge in the small plastic tabs that are sewn (4cm long, sutured over the entire length). Functionally processed; the plastic bottles wonders how long will persevere outside.
The rotation lock (thick screw) to hold the 2 bars is also only made of plastic, a metal bolt or the lever locks previously used would probably last longer. However, it can be far turn well and the rods are tight together. The assembly was so far no problem.
Priced I find the umbrella a little high, probably due to the square shape. Similar models are already offered more favorable, especially mainly the products coming from China anyway. Cover is actually not there. Voluntary certification mark such as GS, do not exist; However, with different restrictions a 24-month warranty.
