Seems very sturdy; Teflon coating is great

We bought these for our Summer trip to Ireland/England, since both tend to have weather changes throughout the day. We only used them for one day in Ireland. It wasn't extreme weather, but it was a consistent heavy drizzle with occasional gusts. We did see others on our excursion with destroyed umbrellas (though I didn't think the wind was THAT strong). The wind did occasionally invert the outer portion of the canopy, but never did I think the umbrella would fail. The skeleton/frame seemed very strong. Directing the top of the umbrella back in the direction of the wind put it back into place easily.

I was really impressed with the Teflon coating, as the canopy did not get soaked through. The droplets stayed pooled on top of the fabric and I was able to easily shake them off.

I also like the push button open/close. Easy to use and easy to put the cover back on the closed umbrella. Highly recommend.
