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.
My garden table does not have a hole in middle for brolly so this new cantilever brolly is ideal. Haven’t used much as yet so hope it stands a good bit of wear. My last one (not from Amazon) lasted 2 mths!!!
Easy to put together, needs to be screwed into the ground so we have just put a heavy slab to hold it down. Looks nice
Nice and easy to use with a bit of muscle. Don’t forget to purchase the sand/water filled counterweights to keep it stable and upright as it won’t stand for long in a breeze otherwise.
We’re very pleased and enjoying the benefits of having shade.
Easy to assemble with clear instructions, have had it now for two months, some form of a base is a definitely needed I just used four paving slabs instead of buying an expensive parasol base, saving about 2/3rds of the cos
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.
Poor sewing quality on corners of brolly a few uses this then all comes unstitched
Bit disappointed as I’ve if they metal stands is missing ! Please advise!!!
So easy to assemble. Did it on my own. Looks great too. Comes with all weather cover. Highly recommend this.

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

Love it
Put it up tonight just to see how big it was
Once I add the light it’s gonna be amazing
Very easy to assemble aswell and a bargai
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. 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
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.

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

Tends to move around pole when windy, have put a new bolt in to keep in place because there is no way to tighten i
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, 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.

Fantastic value for money, I wasn’t expecting it to be as good as the more expensive parasols on the market, however I was extremely surprised how good this product is, only downside was the instructions, but if you’re practically minded (which I am) then they’re ok. Even managed to assemble on my own in 20 minutes.
Delivery was three days before said date, so even better as all erected ready for the heatwave. 5*
Simple to assemble. Does what it says on the box. Needs to be fixed to decking or buy a huge weight to hold it down.
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.
Quick service and very nice parasol. However I found it difficult to put together, it needs two people and it definitely needs to be a placed in a spacious area where it cannot fall and hit any windows. The base needs to be fixed to the ground or heavily weighted down as it would have blown over easily. Unfortunately for me it had to go back as my patio space was too small to take this particular parasol.
Unless there are enough weights on the base,it is very unstable in the Wind.
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.
After using this a few times the winding mechanism failed, the parasol could not be raised. Replacement sent quickly, great customer service.
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)
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.
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.
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!
This 5′ 3 woman put it together in about 30 mins with no help and the basic instructions.
I haven’t purchased a base yet so I only briefly put it up fully. Seems good. A bit higher then I thought.
Update: I have now bought a base. The fact the base is longer one side isn’t a plus as it sticks out through the parasol. It does move quite a lot during a mind wind but its a good size.

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.
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!
