The hinges and the clamp are very loose

The clamp (which I thought was supposed to be metal) wasn't strong enough to hold on a round post and the hinges seemed a little flimsy.

The adjustable hinge joints are wobbly even when locked

Wind in general will cause the hinges and/or the clamp to completely make the umbrella ineffective.

The onky thing I am worried about is that these hinges feel a little loose, which I think it unavoidable since they use plastic to cut back on weight

The adjustable hinge broke immediately on first bend to see if everything worked.

I'm disappointed because the hinges are loose

Shame as I actually really liked this product
