Got my umbrella the other day and finally got to take it out of the box and use it today. There are some reviews saying the fabric billows and I immediately checked upon delivery and thought mannn theyre right, I hate to return this since I think I got it for a good price and it looks and feels good too. So put it back in the box. Took it out again couple hours later to show my husband but upon further examination realized the metal ribs actually need to be extended so the fabric wont billow. I hope this helps those who are contemplating on getting this. So far I like it. The only downside is that theres no tie to fasten it down for when you have the umbrella closed but thats not a deal breaker. Im pretty sure I can find an easy fix for that around the house. I just bought this and its pretty new so I can give two thumbs up so far. Ill update if things change. (Im attaching a video showing what Im talking about extending the ribs.)
So far so good! And is as advertised!
