Good sturdy umbrella only prob is ties don’t work but that’s a small price to pay
This parasol is a good size and creates a nice shaded area, it is easy to open and close, I have been using this parasol with a universal base and it fits well and feels study once in place, i am happy to recommend
This is a large umbrella at 9ft it has push-button 3 level tilt and a smooth crank for easy opening and closing.
The canopy is vented to help with airflow and heat ventilation . The material is lovely and thick and everything feels durable
The umbrella is a beautiful vibrant blue and it all seems well made to a high standard. It comes with 1 tear warrnaty anf says its fade resistant up to 5 years There is no base included and no cover included
This parasol is absolutely to die for. So simple to erect and install on your table setup, and so easy to take down as well.
I’m disabled and putting the umbrella up conventionally wouldn’t work for me. The winder is so simple, and with instructions on turn direction, you cannot go wrong!
On hot days this parasol will shade you adequately while enjoying the beautiful weather alone, or amongst friends.
In short, a fantastic product, well built, beautifully offered up and does exactly what it says on the tin.
I’ll give this a 9/10. 5 stars? Yes. What more can I say?
I’m absolutely delighted with this patio umbrella. It’s much better quality than one I bought some years ago and it looks stunning. Just need the sun now!
It’s reall well made and much more robust than some, with a ratchet mechanism to adjust. It’s very easy and it holds up well. I already had a large base and it fits perfectly, but you do need the base for support. The canvas type material is bright and strong, it all looks really securely stitched and I think with care it’ll last for years. A great investment.
From reading other reviews online, with some people reporting a bad experience, I hesitated to order this. However, I am glad that I decided to order it anyway (most of the reviews are positive), as it seems to be very good quality for its price. It has a nice vent at the top, to help it catch less wind than it otherwise might, but, of course, on a very windy day, it should not be open. The crank for opening and closing the umbrella operates smoothly, and gives a feel of quality. I have not had it long, however, so I cannot say how long it will hold up over time, but it has the look and feel of decent quality, much better than what I would normally expect at the price I paid. It looks very nice on my patio (I bought it in red).
If I have problems with it, I plan on updating my review (and possibly changing my rating), but it seems like it is better than one should expect at the price. Of course, I do not expect it to be the best ever made, as that would be ridiculous to have such an expectation for such an inexpensive umbrella, but this, so far, *seems* like it is the best umbrella I have ever owned. Certainly, it is the best looking one.
This is very attractively designed and smart looking patio umbrella. It’s a perfect choice for a family of four looking for a decent amount of shade in their garden and it comes in at a very reasonable price too.
The umbrella arrives well packaged in a long, slim, yet sturdy thick cardboard outer. Inside was a delightful looking and vibrant blue clothed parasol. The manufacturers have clearly gone out of their way to ensure you are getting a high quality and (hopefully) long lasting product. Every part I looked at had been finished to a high standard and all parts and pieces used in construction seem to be both of a high quality and well finished.
The fabric to the umbrella itself has been yarn dyed and has a luxuriously thick 230g/sqm cloth that additionally has been treated with PU and UV protective coatings. The manufacturers claim their parasol is fade resistant for five years. Time will tell I guess, but from initial inspection and usage, I have no reason to doubt their claims. I would be surprised if it lasted fade free for the full 5 years if you were to leave it uncovered all year around but I personally will be covering mine during the summer months when not in use as well as storing it away in the garage throughout the colder and more harsh winter months.
Upon opening your umbrella for the first time you will notice that it’s a really great size at a full 9 feet. It more than adequately covers my outdoor patio table and chairs, but you could equally choose to locate this by a pool, out on your decking, on a balcony or even to shade a BBQ pit area. It has a multi functional design and is equipped with a 3 position lift and tilt mechanism, which allows you to adjust the angle of umbrella as the sun advances across the sky. This helps to provide good shaded cover over your outdoor living setup all day long. It’s easy to both open and close and the operation to do so is smooth and seems well put together and made to last. This particular umbrella also has a vented canopy which helps keep it more stable and grounded when stronger winds are prevalent. The main pole has a nice and chunky 1.5 inch diameter and is constructed from thickened steel, which therefore makes it feel very solid and reliable. The actual umbrella’s ribs have been constructed using lighter weight aluminiums but once again, just like the rest of this umbrella, it all feels well put together, robust and thought out. The company supply you with a 1 year warranty for some added peace of mind.
The only thing tou really need to think about is that you will require and need to source a separate heavy duty base. Dont go getting an off-the-shelf cheap supermarket stand though. This bad boy requires a little more stability, especially if you intend to use it all year around, potentially including in stronger winds. Ideally you will need to counteract the top weight with, I would estimate here – around 30 – 40 kilos of base weight. This will, in all honesty, probable set you back another 40 or so. As the umbrella itself is priced at 79.99 (at time of review) your whole setup will in all likelihood hit the 120 – 130 mark. For the quality of construction, parts and materials used I think that represents great value for your money. Phase that over the next 5 years minimum life expectancy of this product and that works out to be less than 25 a year. That’s great value if you ask me.
I really can’t fault this umbrella in anyway. I am particularly taken by the bright and vibrant blue colouring of the cloth and I really do think the manufacturers have tried their very best to give you an overall high quality final product. There is absolutely nothing to dislike about this at all and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this to anyone. A great product at a great price. Brilliant!
Really like this umbrella. I got it to replace one I got a couple of years ago as the old one doesn’t tilt. This one is fantastic quality. The ratchet mechanism is solid and it holds tightly in place. It fits perfectly into our parasol stand beneath the patio table. Colour is claimed to be none fading for 2 years. It would be nice if it were fade resistant for longer than this but we’ll see how it goes. Very pleased so far!
This is large and looks excellent. You have to buy a base if you don’t have a hole in your outside table like we do (see pictures). The umbrella is heavy and, according to the leaflet that came with it, requires a base more than 47ibs (21kg). I spent 20 on a base which is only 9kg so no good. It is a significant cost which you have to factor in when buying any patio umbrella. There is a ratchet type lever which you turn to put the umbrella up and down. That works well and is easy to use. Easy to put together but with it being heavy it is easier with two people. At the time of writing this review the price is about right at 80 for a 9 foot canopy. Just remember the 30-40 for the base.
It took a couple tries to get the right color I ordered, but when I did receive them (bought two) I absolutely love them. We had a day with significant wind, I wasn’t able to bring them in right away. They are well made and quite sturdy. They managed just fine with no damage.
The solar lights are amazing and really add to the ambience.
We had a high wind rain storm. It blew my umbrella up and off of the base on my glass outdoor table onto the lawn. The next day I woke up to a umbrella that was in perfect condition, just as I originally purchased it! It was not bent and did not have a dent nor a ding on it! I will purchase this umbrella again. I am very pleased with the construction of this product!
Have just had this umbrella up a few weeks, but it looks to be a very sturdy one, and we like the tie around the middle to secure it when not in use. Provides good relief from the sun. Hopeful that it does not fade.
