I bought this one month ago.  I live in a city where there's very little shade along my walk to and from work, to help protect me from the sun.  I only used it a handful of times on very sunny days.  It arrived with several of the caps attaching the top to the spokes disconnected, but that was easy to fix, so I discounted it.  Today I went to open it and something (a spring or something?) in the pagoda end just detached and the whole thing popped off at that end and the entire parasol collapsed irreversibly.  I really loved the look of this item and I was really disappointed that they would be so lax in their manufacturing.  Thankfully, it was within the return window, and Amazon's excellent customer service helped me out.
