Ok, I'm a firm believer in 2 things (retail that is). 1. USA made: 2. Quality. I must say I hit the nail on the head with both here. It is very hard to find retail products produced in the USA. I get it, labor is expensive here. I have throughly gone over my new umbrella. It looks great. Very sturdy, handsome, but I must say, I have not had it in a rainstorm, yet. Obviously another review down the road. Although this umbrella is very expensive. I hope to never buy another. And, the cheap lightweight umbrella will be compromised when most needed. So I bit off an expensive umbrella hoping for the best. So far it appears that way. Very happy...today, and happy with my purchase.
