Afraid it arrived slightly damaged, didn’t travel very well from Italy.
Could of been packaged more securely, box smashed to pieces.
Amazon was able to help with this issue.
Thank you Brent.
Excellent parasol. It is great value for money and was really easy to assemble and put up. It will need securing to floor with plates or screwing down and will need looking after in the winter but other than that it is a bargain and I’m really happy with i
Easy to ensemble just with one person . Easy to open and close and move ad the sun does. We’ll worth the money
I recommend buying the other cover as one supplied is too tight and small so doesn’t cover the metal crank system. The one recommended is purfec
Easy to assemble, I done it on my own, once you have found a place for it to sit, you can rotate the umbrella to block the sun whilst it sits in the same place. I did have the issue of the wind blowing it over, so it will need bolting down. I have put a number of slabs on the feet to make it more sturdy but untold it’s bolted down when it’s extremely windy I have put down as it catches the wind. It’s a large umbrella so gives great shade. I would totally recommend it and it looks great, we got the gray one.
This looks great on our new decking. I didn’t bother with weights so screwed it down to the decking with 3 inch screws. It’s going know where . Looks great and does the job. Will see what happens to it when the bad weather gets on it but the cover helps I suppose.
Bought this as a replacement for my old one, really good quality, easy to use 10 out of 10
Very pleased with parasol. Quality is very good as is the colou
This is a great bit of kit, Managed to get it on sale for 47, which was the bargain of the century. I’d happily pay double that for the quality in this highly recommended piece of kit.
Didn,t expect this to be as good as it is ,would recommend it for value ,looks and size
Very good value for money. Do yourself a favour though and order the weights to hold it down coz it’s very top-heavy and very easily falls over. We are hoping to have to screw ours to our deck which means we won’t be able to move it around. Otherwise it’s a good product.
Product as described and looks and feels like a quality product. The only negative is that you need to factor in additional cost for a ‘base weight’ vounot or other make as unstable in anything more than a light breeze.
This parasol is made of cheap plastic. It has broken with one gust of wind.
Good value for money. It took a while to assemble but looks stylish.
Easy to assemble. Looks great in my garden. Only had it for 3 weeks, so cannot say about reliability yet. My major advice to anyone who reads this review, is ALWAYS get weights for the base (at extra cost). Without, I found even a slight gust of wind caused the parasol to lean and fall. I suspect this will be a problem with all cantilever parasols.
For the price, initial impressions are that this is good value. Let’s see how it performs long term.

Requires weights as wind blows it but even so seems good value

Good value product at this price. Easy to assemble and use. Takes several weeks to arrive. Note it does not come with weights to keep it held on ground.

Works pretty well, goes up and down easily enough. Quick to put away when not in use under its cover. Ours is weighed down with patio slabs and doesn’t seem at any risk of falling over.

The Parasol is great, we keep it over our hot tub. Only problem we find is any wind at all make it unstable. We put some large rocks over the foot stand to make more secure but think sandbags would be better. Works well though and seems ok quality for our needs

After a production error, my complaint was dealt with immediately and I received a replacement quickly. Now this umbrella is on our terrace and looks great!
Easy enough to put together and adjust the angle’s to suit for shade
Value for money . Very Good quality product . Easy to assemble . Excellent spa
Value for money. Only set back was cover to umbrella keeps sliding off no mater how tight I tie i
Arrived quickly well packaged, relatively easy to assemble although instructions are not great. Reason for only 4 stars is that it takes 2 people to open for everyday use

Love this product value for money and if you have any problems the seller will sort it out straight away highly recommended
Great parasol, excellent value for money, very easy to assemble
its fabulous value looks amazing but I would recommend weights
Only had a couple of months but so far happy with the parasol. It is sturdy & the tilt on it is very useful. Would definitely use paving slabs for the base otherwise I feel it would blow over.
After finding some damage to the top section of the shade, the seller was contacted and quickly replaced the faulty part very quickly. A very good product with excellent after sales support.
Took about 10 minutes to assemble, I used 3 garden slabs, plus drilled 2 large screws into concrete, it’s not going anywhere. Just want some sunshine now
The instructions are a bit confusing but after a bit of fiddling it went up right. Opened it up and I gotta say I was impressed by the size of the thing and how when build the frame is.
Unfortunately the next day when I went to open it up it wouldn’t open, kept of clicking but not opening. I contacted seller and literally 2 days later I received a replacement. Excellent and quick customer service. Very happy with my parasol.

This company goes above and beyond, can’t be anymore helpful
Very good quality and very sturdy you don’t need the weights so long you have good long pegs to hold in the ground.worth the money
Great shade, it obviously doesn’t come with the weights which can be quite expensive so we bought slabs and use those on the base, they were much cheaper.
The umbrella looks good and goes up easily the only thing I would say is the cover that comes with it is very tight and are slightly ripped from us trying to get it on. Overall very happy

Very heavy parsol have put slabs on the matle
cross bars to hold this in place lovely parsol and worth the money cover also fits nicely
Easy to assemble. Lovely and sturdy. Glad I spent that bit extra good quality item.
Missing bolts can’t put the thing together untill I get that parts
Updated helped to find the correct bolts.
Easy to assemble, but you will need to buy a sturdy base or it will blow over quite easily.
VERY IMPORTANT This brolley obviously doesn’t like the wind ! I installed the base under my 40mm patio slabs to anchor it. So far so good, but just in case we fold it everynight. Seems ok now. On reflection a fair price The brolley works fine, Theres no ‘wrap around’ strap to hold it closed when not in use (like you get with some brolleys) so i use a bungy cord, they supply a bag for winter use but its too fidly to use ‘every’ time you want to fold it up.

We bought this early in the summer and use it on our patio virtually every sunny day now.
It gives excellent, wide shade and can be adjusted and tilted as the sun moves.
We anchor it wth some paving stones with sandbags on top and it is really solid.
It comes with a cover which is useful when not in use.
I thought is was a great parasol, but haven’t really tried it out yet as the weather had been rubbish. Hopefully soon.
I am really impressed indeed. I have a different make but same to look at one in the garden and wanted another. Easy to put up, the stand has a place for some patio slabs to fit, you need two slightly smaller, just put the base together and nip off to the DIY shop. I covered mine with pretty tubs around the bottom. Waterproof and study. Anyone saying about it not being sturdy just haven’t put some slabs to keep in place. Highly recommended.
When delivered, the parasol came with the wrong base struts. I contacted Vounot, had a reply within 5 minutes and was promised replacement struts at no cost. These arrived in a few days and were perfect. The product is super and the customer service was brilliant.
Original canopy wouldn’t fit together properly. New one looks good and gives excellent shade over a table seating six.
Not great if the breeze gets up, but a great shade for the price – all happy so far!
Easy to assemble but had to purchase additional sand bag as it will blow over easily
Unless there are enough weights on the base,it is very unstable in the Wind.
No base sturdy enough for the weight of parasol/ weights should be sold with it as standard
Very disappointed in the quality of this product , very plastics not very stable. Used it yesterday for what can only be maybe the third time since I purchased it. It’s broken . The plastic pole snapped.

Great canopy and really easy to assemble, but i had to return it as floor space wasn’t compatible with the length of the base, i thought i could make it work. However, seller not really helpful with returning so i resold it myself within 48 hours..absolutely need a base.

Need to purchase a weight for the base as the wind blows it over.
After using this a few times the winding mechanism failed, the parasol could not be raised. Replacement sent quickly, great customer service.
My husband put this together, didn’t seem to have any problems, it does wobble about a bit with the breeze, to be expected as it’s free standing, so we attached it to our fence with some string. ( nothing we can do about the breeze,)
Good value for the money, easy to use.

Arrived very quickly. Very easy to assemble and looks great and easy to adjust to your chosen angle. Gives us more privacy from overlooking houses.you must put weights on the bottom otherwise it will tip over(I used 4 paving slabs)

Arrived a week earlier than expected. Packaged well. Good quality and well made. I found easy to put together. I am female, 9 stone and 5ft6″ and managed to put up on my own in ten minutes. Connected the 4 bolts to the base to attach the bottom base pole. Lay the parasol on the grass flat and connected the two parts. slide parasol onto the base pole and opened the parasol. Have used 4 flag stones to weigh down the base as this was more than adequate for my last parasol. And it came with a cover!

Relatively easy to assemble, used pliers to loosen a bolt on the footing stand and to tighten after assembly. It would have been considerate to have had the inclusion of 4 tent pegs to stabilise the base, I assembled for my mother and had to order separately, so temporarily out of action until they arrive. The product seems sound other than that omission.
Good item, does the job. Definitely need a base though.
I was sent a returns I think because the top of my parasol was snapped (however doesn’t effect usage). There is also small holes in the fabric of the parasol near the vents. Couldn’t be bothered to send it back so just accepted it.

Happy customer, prompt delivery, really goid value for money. Bought with the base designed for it, all good. Thanks.
Come within 2 days of ordering, easy assembling, coverage is fantastic. Love it!! Definitely recommend
Arrived in less than a week, so easy to assemble I can’t believe people who said it wasn’t, put the parasol together before you mount it on the stand you can even use the ratchet to pull it together! it just clips in, also the stand has some holes very handy for screwing into decking for added security, cheap as chips and I had it up in 10 mins just 4 bolts to screw down 14mm spanner/socket needed, honest it’s a doddle and when up it’s bloody good, you can angle it at lots of different ways and it swivels 360 degrees, it even has a cover!! Big thumbs up!
Definitely a two person job to fit the pieces together – you need someone to hold the parasol part while you slot the pieces together, unless you can manage this while it is flat on the ground maybe. A little bit fiddly to put together, because one of the push buttons was difficult to press in, but overall impressed with the design and quality. Once assembled, the cranked opening and closing is easy. Creates a large shaded area, which completely fills my small patio area and gives the feel of an outdoor room almost. Happy to recommend.

Love this, easy to assemble and does the job well. Requires a a decent weigh for the base as the parasol is BIG.
It’s great to keep the umbrella still you will need the triangle weights at the bottom.
I gave this an overall rating of 4 stars due the product being great value, good quality and fairly simple to put together. I did struggle however with securing the top section of the brolly it was a real nightmare to clamp the 2 sections together. It took 2 persons to secure the top section after some brute force.

Sturdy and stylish but some of the fabric edges frayed. Good value
My item was late and then potentially lost, customer service were great, tracked it down and it arrived not too long after. Parasol itself is perfect! Exactly as described, stunning.
This parasol is beautiful. For the money we were surprised at the sturdy quality of the mechanism and frame. It glides up and down perfectly and can be adjusted for height and spin. The movement feels strong and solid – more like the far more expensive ones we have had in the past. The number of reviews complaining about the lack of a base are incredulous. This design of the foot is for placing between patio flags. It’s not meant at to have a base. If you want a parasol with a chunky base then you’ll need to buy a different one.
UPDATE 31/5/21 – Only had it a few weeks and the inner cord mechanism ‘snapped’ but I contacted the seller who requested a photo proof then without any quarrel, kindly offered replacement which arrived speedily. No fuss, great service! Thank you!

Covers the hot tub and provides an extra layer of privacy from the people above. Also great for keeping slight rain drizzle and also protects the tub from the sun (when we get it). Only wish the head would extend a further 5 inches over.

I like the size. I did not like problems to keep it in position with weights when wondy outside on Caribbean island. Used daily as a must for shade.
