I have had this for just over two years. I installed it with the in/ground anchor. The umbrella still looks and functions like it was brand new. No umbrella fade, no resistance on the cranks.
The company is also very easy to deal with. We had a small hole in the canopy when it arrived and they immediately dispatched a replacement canopy.
It holds up to the elements (we do cover it most of the time we dont have it open), but it still handles gusts of wind and quick weather changes very well.
It really does look and function like it was brand new.
Two years in and still VERY happy
