We have this umbrella now for several weeks and are still very happy with it. At first I was disappointed that he did not turn as easily and quickly - depending on the position of the sun. It should perhaps be pointed out that one him only every 90 ° - can determine - as on 3, 6, 9 and 12 clock. But you get used to it and for the stability, it is probably important. With us it is quite windy, which the screen but nothing is wearing! I hope we have a few more years of enjoyment!
