So you know how when you get older, Mom tells you to pick out what you want and get it and then she will give you the money. Well, thats exactly what this was. I got this as a Christmas gift from my Mom. I love it!! It is a great size and easy to put up and down. I still have a London Fog umbrella I bought for $25 about 20 years ago and it is just getting kind of dirty but is still in good shape. Therefore, I have not doubt this one will last me another 20 years. Great Gift!!
