Dear customer, I apologize for the less than completely satisfied feeling you are left with. Our umbrellas are well made. From your description here, this tells us that the table seems too low, or the stand is too tall, because if that table is meeting the umbrella pole that low, it would take a much thicker pole, at a higher price, to not fold over under wind with the umbrella open. They are too top heavy. They are designed to meet most standard tables just below the crank, making them very stable in most normal weather conditions. However, if we could get photos of the damaged umbrella we can better diagnose the issue and provide you with a new umbrella that will not fail you. Please reach out to our customer service team via email at contact@ezreplacement.com or phone 877-477-2264 where we can discuss this issue in more detail and see about getting you a replacement umbrella.
