I don't know,,the price is fine, meaning reasonable for a good umbrella. We got a RH, aluminum collection (it's been a few years..price around 1000 or so). With the winds we get sometime in DE, the actual poll bent over and got damaged. My husband bought another metal pole for it and now it's fine. Hopefully someone bought the umbrella you want and they can tell you if it holds

Check out C & B. Their umbrellas are great. I live in a super windy hot, dry area and the pole finally gave out after five years. The Sunbrella fabric is going strong on the new pole two years later. Don't know about Frontgate's, but when I need a new one it'll be Crate & Barrel again unless I hear otherwise.
