Cranks up and down easily and looks great. Sturdy in the wind and love the dark blue. Great value.
Our patio gets zero shade from trees (since we don’t have any) and this umbrella does a great job of it. It’s easy to put up and down and has been a lifesaver in the summer sun. I always make sure to put it down, so I’m not sure how it would fare in wind stronger than a consistent breeze, but I’d rather not chance it.
This is well made and easy to set up. The material is sturdy but not coarse. I love the style and the color, which are pleasant but not glaring. I will upload some pictures to show the very good quality, especially given the price.
But that’s JustMe. (I received this product in exchange for an honest review, and that is what I have offered here.)
We got this to replace an old umbrella on our patio table that had faded terribly and had several spokes that broke and wouldn’t hold up well anymore. This umbrella is a much nicer quality than what we had before. The fabric is thicker and after a summer outdoors it has not shown any signs of fading or wear. The spokes are very sturdy and even held up well when it was left open during moderate winds and heavy rains. It fits perfectly into our existing table and base and I really appreciate the tilt feature as I can more accurately keep the sun off of me when outside. My only qualm would be that it doesn’t have a cover of any sort to put over the umbrella when it’s time to store it for the winter.
I’m using it with a six seater patio dining table and it offers ample shade
I use clamps and attach it to my balcony railings, it looks awesome and I’m so glad I got it! Not only protect my furniture from the sun but makes the balcony a new room where we want to be and spend long time reading.
This is a really nice patio umbrella. It feels sturdy and strong. The fabric is opaque and provides excellent shade. I’ve had it up for a while now and the color has not faded. The crank handles easily, so folding it up or out is not difficult at all.
I am really happy with this umbrella and have no real complaints at all. I would recommend this as a replacement or compliment to any set.
Just as described, and pictured! Very sturdy, well made Umbrella. Easy to crank up/down. Great durable material. Holds up very well. Fits in base well, and works perfect for some shade. Very nice quality!
Use as a sun and rain shade over our spa. Great size, easy to use and easy to put up and dow
Works great, gives good shade, and easy to set up and use. Appears to be made well.
This is easy to assemble, very sturdy and provides great shade. Definitely better quality than the inexpensive price point.
Living in Las Vegas, a big sun umbrella is a necessity if you want to spend any time in your back yard. This umbrella was super easy to assemble, just insert the bottom pole into the top one, stick it through your table, and crank it open. Ta da! It provides great coverage and the crank mechanism is very smooth. It’s important to note that it doesn’t come with a base, but that wasn’t a problem for us as we are using it with a patio table that’s made for an umbrella. I also like that there’s a piece of fabric that wraps around the umbrella and secures it when it’s closed so you don’t have to worry about wind coming up under it and carrying it away (which actually happened with our old umbrella). Overall, this is a great addition to our back yard.
This is a GREAT umbrella- I was shocked at the quality. It’s sturdy, made from what looks to be high quality material (none of that cheap flimsy ripply nylon from patio umbrellas I remember as a kid), and looks really great in our yard. You DO need to get a stand for it, though.
This is a decent umbrella. The fabric is on the light side.
I live in a fairly windy area. The hardware is heavy-duty but I’m concerned how well it will do in wind. Frankly, it doesn’t look very bendable. Compounding the problem is that the wind vent is very small and at the top. I don’t see it allowing a lot of wind through, so am concerned the heavy-duty tines will break, since they can’t bend.
There’s no base but that isn’t a problem for me, since I’m replacing an umbrella that gave out but the old marble base works fine with this new one.
Mechanically, you snap the poles together and crank it open. Tilts well too. All is fine now. I’m just concerned with upcoming gusts of wind. As you can see from my photo, the nylon cord that works off a pully is on the outside of the pole for easy access.
This is a sturdy umbrella that provides good protection from the sun. It is kind of heavy and does not stay in my table well. I am going to get a stand to better support it. Appears to be made well and of good quality.
Isn’t a cheap piece of junk but also isn’t super high end. We dropped with in our weighted base between the two lounge chairs next the pool and had no issues. The female tube of the base was probably 3/4″ to an inch bigger than the pole of the umbrella, but with the bolts locked down on the base, it doesn’t move or flop around at all. They also make adapter things so they fit more snug, but unneeded in this case.
Cranks out and in fine, looks good and no issues. I expect to get a couple years out of it in the South Florida sun, as long as I don’t leave it extended out in the wind and so the sun isn’t beating on it EVERY day. Overall, no complaints.
Nice umbrella. The hardware feel sturdy. The fabric feels thinner than I’m used to. Investing in a cover or storing it when not in use feels like a must. The fabric is a cool beige (I got the beige one), is slightly darker than I expected and matches the concrete in my backyard.
Not that this is an umbrella only. No base and no weights and no weighted base. Those need to be additionally purchased in order to hold the umbrella upright.
The umbrella it’s easy to assemble. It comes in two pieces: the umbrella part and the pole. Snap it together and the use the crank two open and close the umbrella
Love the Umbrella- Two things for you to think about:
Well, the only thing I wish I had thought to pay attention to is if it tilts. I didn’t think about it because I’ve never owned such a large table umbrella but a tilt would be nice. If it could tilt then you could better direct the shade. So something for you to think about and learn from my mistakes.
This does not come with a stand. It’s heavy enough that even in the hole of my table it tends to want to flop to one side or the other. A stand would stop that from happening. We just used some old bricks we had on hand with a hole in each one to anchor this down to keep it from slightly leaning. (The hole in my table is bigger than the stick on the umbrella so the umbrella has a tendency to flop just a bit to the side).
Having said those two things I have nothing bad to say about this umbrella. It is very sturdy. The pole is big enough that it can hold up the big umbrella without fear of breaking.
It was easy to install (it came in two parts). It is easy to open up and take down. The turning handle is well labeled and that helps so you don’t have to guess what to do.
When we set it up my husband commented on the quality of the umbrella and noted that the seams were straight and it looked like the stitching was thick enough that it wouldn’t rip apart with just a few uses.
This umbrella looks well made the fabric feels thinker than my previous one and the stitching seems thinker.
the main problem with umbrellas is the sun wearing down the fabric. I will update this review once the summer is over as it needs time to see if the sun affects the fabric.
I have a balcony that get direct sunlight in the afternoons in the desert. It makes the balcony unusable during those time. This is a high quality umbrella that sets of easily. I already had a umbrella stand and slide it to the edge of the balcony, placing the umbrella in it, then zip tying it to the balcony railing. Perfect! Now the balcony in in the shade in the afternoon and, bonus, it keeps the sun from heating up the sliding glass doors. This keeps my unit much cooler.
In the product description this looks like a light tan (beige) color. However in person it has a slight olive green tint to it. Here is a picture next to my old light tan umbrella and you can see the difference.
This is not one of the cheaper umbrellas, so I was expecting more of a premium feel. But this has low quality stitching and thin plastic parts such as a very thin cap on top. I’m not sure how long this will last outdoors in the weather.
It looks very nice from a distance once it is setup outside.
Excellent large patio umbrella. The structure is heavy duty and solidly constructed. The fabric is a waterproof type of canvas like cloth. The khaki color is a of a beautiful shade. It looks to be a wonderful and professional looking unit. Very satisfied.
Large, very well made patio umbrella. Very simple to operate, just turn the crank clockwise to open it, and in the other direction to close it. The thick fabric looks great and offers excellent shade. A quality umbrella perfect for a patio table or poolside.
-Sturdy
-Easy to assemble
-Opens and closes easily
-Looks great
The Bad:
-None
The Bottom Line:
I’m using this Fruiteam umbrella in my patio and it works great. It’s sturdy and doesn’t blow around in the wind. It is easy to set up and to open and close. It looks great and provides great coverage. Overall, I would recommend this Fruiteam umbrella for its look and sturdiness.
I ordered two of these patio umbrellas because they are fade resistant. Our patio has constant sun exposure and our old umbrellas looked so bad when they faded.
Very good looking umbrellas.
