This has been very useful in the heat wave to create some shade
Easy to put up and down and to store when down. Crank is easy to use and it’s not too heavy
Very solid umbrella…easy to.put together.
Looks lovely and the tilt feature is a bonus…excellent value for money and looks more expensive than it was …thrilled !
I really really like this parasol, it looks great, super easy to assemble. By mistake I’ve purchased the 2m one instead of the 2.7m that I wanted. But it’s fine. I am extremely happy with my purchase!
As you can see from the photo, the taupe is much darker than the picture, but it looks ok, it assembles easily and I purchased a base to fit.
The crank makes it easy to put up, hopefully the string doesn’t snap. It doesn’t look very big but I only have a small space, the tilt and turn is handy. It seems quite sturdy, but I haven’t used it much yet.
This was chosen as it was a good price and am happy to say that the quality is far better than expected. Looks great, easy to put together and the handle makes putting it up/down nice and easy. Very happy with our purchase
Great parasol ,which was delivered quickly and efficiently. Strong construction, but the only thing you have got to be careful with if you are putting it through the hole in a garden table, make sure you measure the diameter of the central pole and the hole through the table. I didn’t and it is too thick, but the parasol is fine next to the table.
Really pleased with this parasol. It is perfect for a small area or centre of a small table. The quality is excellent and it tilts with an easy to use lever. I bought a small but very sturdy base for it.
Very well made parasol, larger than I thought which was a pleasant surprise. Easy to put up and down, hopefully it will be in a lot of use this summer and for a few years afte
This is a good looking parasol which is pretty large and gives good coverage. Glad we bought, however we do feel that we now need a much wider base than we have as in any wind it is a little unstable as we are on a hillside. So once we have got a better base for the size of this parasol I think all will be good. It would sit perfectly well of course if at a table etc. Easy to manoeuvre and tilt. Would recommend.
The parasol supplied is of good construction, sturdy and looks terrific.
Unfortunately during the recent high winds last year, my garden table was blown over with the closed parasol still in it, bending the bottom section of parasol tube way beyond repair. I contacted the company asking if I could purchase a replacement lower tube section as the upper section of the parasol was ok and remained intact and was undamaged. They unfortunately weren’t able to supply a lower tube but kindly and generously offered to send me a complete replacement free of charge, which I accepted.
I received the replacement a couple of days ago, which is identical to the one I purchased in early 2020.
They have been in constant contact with me regarding the replacement over the last few months as the parasol wasn’t in stock until a month ago. I have to advise that I have received nothing but extremely good service and superb attention from Figo and highly rate them as a company to do business with, and would highly recommend them to others.
I purchased this parasol in 2019 and cannot fault it at all. Almost two years on and I’ve left it outside in all weathers without any cover or protection and it still looks brand new! Beautifully made, sturdy and the colour hasn’t faded at all
The parasol was just what I wanted unfortunately it was damaged, what I disappointed in it cost me the price of the Parasol plus postage on top and to send it back it cost me more than receiving it….im furious!!
Further to my earlier review about the top not engaging with the bottom. It was just a sticky button and is now resolved. The umbrella is now working perfectly.
I love it. It came super fast. I love the colour and material. Bugs are already leaving their marks on it (staining) so I’m not completely sure ivory was the best idea but that’s personal as I have nowhere to store it/cover it just yet.
The crank is so easy to use – and it’s not too heavy for a not strong person to pick up and carry around. I’m not using it with a table – just as a freestanding umbrella to keep me in the shade in an otherwise suntrap garden, as my skin reacts to direct sunlight and hates suncream.
I bought a good base for it and it was very solid on a flat surface, less so on the uneven grass.
It toppled over twice when tilted but this was on a particularly breezy day. Anything below 9MPH wind you’re fine but you will need extra weights, or to reposition it when tilted so it’s less likely to catch the breeze.
Creating some shade has been a life changer just so I can be outside but cooler and safer for my skin.
I’m really happy with it personally – it behaves very well!
Excellent quality and very sturdy. I have one small complaint, took it out of the box and found small oil marks on the material. Looked like in had been rubbed against an oily surface prior to packing
High-quality product well finished, the minor delivery issue quickly resolved by the seller who was extremely helpful in every way. Would highly recommend it.
A little bigger than I thought but very sterdy and seems to be good quality. I do recommend this although measure your area first to make sure you have the room. Good item though as it took a pounding from the British winter and still looks good!
This is a really nice parasol – a bit bigger than the one I was replacing and a nicer fabric too. easy to assemble and I like the wind up mechanism to put it up and down = a start lost because when you let it down you have to bend really low because when it comes down it lands on your had if you don’t!! I don’t think this is just this parasol that does it but a design improvement like lowering the mechanism to bring it down might be good
A really lovely parasol errects with a winch which uses a nylon cord so am really happy with it.
My only criticism is I’m not sure if the nylon cord could be replaced should it ever snap.
We are delighted with our sun shade as it fits in perfectly on our patio and is everything we had hoped for. The mechanism is easy to use and the quality of the parasol is excellent, the wipe clean fabric is also an added bonus. Would certainly recommend.
More expensive than some on the market but frankly this is very much worth the money .
Good Quality feels and look well made and the material looks very durable.
Very impressed with this item. Simple to assemble, really well made and sturdy, Highly recommended. The other plus was that after order, it also arrived in what must have been World record time.
After a very poor delivery service (courier, not seller at fault) I was amazed and very happy with the strength of this extremely well made parasol.
I already had a parasol in place with my garden furniture but it was looking a bit shabby so thought I’d update…
Firstly, this parasol is very sturdy, all the struts are a thick metal, not flimsy and the pole itself is slightly larger in diameter than my old one although still fits my metal parasol base. (I have since purchased another base but will review that separately).
Because this is a good strong umbrella, complete with turning handle option, it is quite heavy and may not suit someone who needs to pack this away regularly – I have to say mine has now been out for about a week and tied (with the built in tie ribbon – they’ve thought of everything!) It has withstood both heavy rain/hail and quite strong winds. I will of course pack it away for the winter, but it’s definitely a more substantial version than I’ve ever owned.
The handle for raising and lowering the parasol is a good quality, with a substantial click when rotated; again suggesting good quality.
There is a kind of “overlapping flap” at the top to allow any wind to pass through and this means your parasol is not likely to fly off in any gusts, although with the weight, I wouldn’t think it would get too far anyway!
If anything, I found that although it was easy enough to tilt the parasol with the supplied push button, it wasn’t as easy to put it back in the upright position. I’m not sure if this is because of the weight of the parasol and/or it is still new and needs to bed but once more, I can only put this down to the exceptional build of the parasol and the weight that goes behind it. Needless to say, I did manage to put it back upright before lowering it into the closed position, but someone else may consider this as too heavy for them?
Coverage wise, it completely sheltered my 2.4m square deck with dining set of a round table and 4 chairs, but you will definitely need a sturdy base (not supplied) and possibly a prop (my table has a central hole) to keep it in place.
Undeniably good value for the money
Bought this to replace old parasol and love the tilt which I didn’t have before. Just the right size for my garden set.
Looks all good.Looks in good order and sturdy. Not opened out yet as put away for next Spring.
This is excellent, but wished we had bought a larger size. Make sure this is big enough for your needs
Good quality umbrella. Fast delivery. Wish I had ordered a bigger size.
This has been very useful in the heat wave to create some shade
Easy to put up and down and to store when down. Crank is easy to use and it’s not too heavy
easy to use ,and great for tilting to get the required shade.
Very solid umbrella…easy to.put together.
Looks lovely and the tilt feature is a bonus…excellent value for money and looks more expensive than it was …thrilled !
We found it a bit high ,so just cut 6″ from the bottom tube ,apart from that OK
Great umbrella ideal for any garden. Well made looks good…
I really really like this parasol, it looks great, super easy to assemble. By mistake I’ve purchased the 2m one instead of the 2.7m that I wanted. But it’s fine. I am extremely happy with my purchase!
Quality parasol – easy to erect. Make sure you buy a sturdy base
Brought this parasol, good sturdy make, easy to put up, right colour and fitted the table
Good stuff
Excellent cover for two recovering stroke victims during the recent extreme heatwave.
The winding handle is quite hard to operate especially if you’re mobility is restricted!
Assembled in a few minutes, easy to negotiate up and down. Cantilever handy
Arrived within 2 days which was great as weather due to get sweltering in next couple of days. Fits well in our small courtyard garde

Heavy quality parasol with good quality waterproof canopy.
Excelle

Charcoal material looks top quality, a good looking garden parasol. We’ll made with sturdy 38mm pole.
Easy to put up and seems sturdy good value for money
Exactly as described and in my opinion as good as or better than many I have considered at local stores
Bought for my elderly neighbour.Very easy to assemble, only took 5 minutes.Nice and sturdy.

It’s a parasol. It works, Maybe a bit more flimsy than I expected but it has stood up to the UK weather so fa
Really pleased with this parasol. It is perfect for a small area or centre of a small table. The quality is excellent and it tilts with an easy to use lever. I bought a small but very sturdy base for it.
So far this is lovely for the money , didn’t want a huge parasol and this is perfect for my little patio.
Really nothing to say except very good value for money.
Love the windup handle helps me especially as I have a weak shoulde
Really sturdy parasol brilliant value for money and so easy to wind up using the handle very pleased with it thanks
Very well made parasol, larger than I thought which was a pleasant surprise. Easy to put up and down, hopefully it will be in a lot of use this summer and for a few years afte

Very easy to operate. Very impressed. Colour darker than I would have liked, however, everything made to high standard would recommend.
As always on time , quality first class, brilliant value. Thank you.
Looks to be sturdy. Doesn’t look or feel cheap. Easy to use and looks good when up.

Quick delivery and good price as well. The material is very good quality as well. Survived heavy winds so far.
Does what’s expected keeping sun off. Had no problems during yhe storms.

Lovely parasol, easy to put up and down. I actually ordered the cream one but was sent the black. Not a problem it is just as nice

Very happy so far. Prompt delivery, easy to assemble and seems well made. Can’t go wrong for the price
Just what we wanted. Impressed with the quality and service.
Wide enough to cover a table and four chairs. Easy to put up and down.
Excellent quality and very sturdy. I have one small complaint, took it out of the box and found small oil marks on the material. Looked like in had been rubbed against an oily surface prior to packing
High-quality product well finished, the minor delivery issue quickly resolved by the seller who was extremely helpful in every way. Would highly recommend it.
Was bigger than I thought. So hubby or next door has to tilt it as its HUGE
Brilliant product, easy to wind up and very large area to easily cover a 6 person table – looks great too
Sturdy quite happy with product, works well. Would have preferred green, but black is ok.
Looks more expensive than it costs. Does the job & looks lovely. The tilt is beneficial during the sunny days
Great product, but as it is in center of outdoor table I find it difficult to cover as I’m only 5ft 1in
Thankyou
Simple but effective. Great value for money and looks good.
Makes a good garden table shade with a slight transmission of light.
larger than expected, does the job. would recommend . fast delivery. package well.
Good quality material. Nice and big.
Only complaint is that it makes a low creaky noise.
Good looking. Mechanism works well. So pleased my sister ordered one!
What more to say does as it says but oops ordered wrong colour but that was my fault and didn’t bother to send back so I have a black one
A really lovely parasol errects with a winch which uses a nylon cord so am really happy with it.
