Red umbrella's I've owned in the past fade terribly. Can someone, who's owned this umbrella more than a season, comment on how the color holds up.

Sorry, I'm out of the loop. Just had it 4 months before I stored it for the winter.

I didn't get red but my has held up great. The quality of the umbrella is truly amazing. I'm a big fan of you get what you pay for and with this brand you definitely do.

Throw it away or use it at the beach. Now buy a new one and ask Amazon for discount for being a loyal customer. Btw keep it folded when not in use. Criggs

I leave mine outside and they dry fast after being in the rain. I have the red cushions and I have been disappointed with the colorfastness of them. They appeared to have faded after only a few months in the sun. Otherwise, the furniture has been great.

I love mine and my whole family has red hair and fair skin. We use ours at all our sporting events. Definitely blocks the sun WELL!Here is their own info on the umbrellas: http://gustbuster.com/sunblok.html

Mine hasn't and I've had it for a few months. It's plastic so it's not likely to fade for a while.

I've had mine for over six months and it still hasn't faded or discolored. It's better than your keys on the key board fading. Plus it keeps dust from getting inside the keys too. I love mine:).

We leave it out - we live in Southern California. It is only exposed to heat and sun, and it hasn't cracked, and only has faded minimully. Sorry, not sure how it would hold up to real weather.

We bought ours in Feb 2012, so just under two years ago. We live in Phoenix, AZ. Has held up great, no noticeable wear or fading even with our 300+ days of sunshine and intense Summers and monsoon storms. I honestly was expecting to get two Summers out of it, but looks like I will get more. Great buy and quality, will buy again when/if this one fails.

Mine has not faded. I love it but it has to be rolled back in if the winds get to high. If not it becomes un level and is not easy to get back level. I only roll it out about half when I am cooking under it and its raining. I love it, it serves the purpose for me, thanks.

I bought my wife a red one. She has had it for a while now. And it still looks like new.

Hi, it has not faded at all. It looks great and it really cools off that window from the beating sun by a lot! I'm really happy with it. I don't know if or when it will start to fade but I am really enjoying this awning. I hope that helps.

I purchased a red one and have used it and washed it multiple times. It did NOT fade.

I live in the Northeast and it has held up well. The sun in Arizona is much stronger so I can't say if you will have the same experience. This item is sturdy and well constructed but it is possible the color may fade.

I got mine last fall. I was very glad that I stained it with a good wood stain so that it held up through freezing, snow, wind, and lots of rain. I will stain it again this summer. It kept things dry.

Hi. It has not faded and has held up well. We live in NY, so the furniture just got pulled out of storage from last October, so it is not exposed to elements all year round. We did have the one armrest table break a week after delivery, but Amazon took care of and sent a new couch. So far so good.

Sorry it took a few days to respond, but spring hasn't arrived in my area yet so the umbrella is stored right now. I plugged it in this morning to see, and it is a very warm, bright yellowish light. Very pretty. Has several sequences you can use or just steady on. The umbrella was out all last summer and it held up beautifully. The lights started right up and its ready for a new summer, if it ever gets here! We keep the cord disconnected and in its box unless we are entertaining at night.

It's holding up well. We just use it inside though so it hasn't changed color at all. Hope that helps.

Ours has been outdoors for a few years but it is underneath an overhang of our house. It faces east so it gets a lot of sun and has gotten wet occasionally with storms and fog. So far, the finish has held up beautifully and it looks just like the day we got it.
