SUNMER 2M Grey Beach Umbrella, Beach Parasol, Water

I bought this to replace a parasol that couldn’t be height adjusted and it’s absolutely ideal and is a very nice well made product. I bought the grey one and the shade is perfect. The parasol also tilts. it needs a separate heavy base to also be purchased but although it provides a good span of shade it’s nice and compact when not assembled

Compared to other similar products I was really surprised with the quality for the price it’s fantastic only thing I was disappointed in is that it doesn’t come woth a protective cover but that’s an easy fix for a few

The parasol arrived 2 days early which was fine with us and the seller did let us now it would be, which is a nice touch. Keeping the customer in the know is something a lot of sellers don’t do. The product is lovely to look at, the poles are sturdy and the fabric feels thick and of quality material. It’s easy to put together and a simple press of a button allows the user to slide the parasol open. The tilt mechanism locks into place when in use. The height can be adjusted because when the top pole is inserted into the lower one there is no stop inside, therefore the unit can be lowered to a height to suit the user. The actual lock for the poles is a large diameter knob, which has on the inside of the bottom pole a curved clamp piece that follows the pole’s circumference and is better for clamping than the usual bolt which can dig into the metal and cause a dent. Lastly the size of the poles. I ordered a base that you can fill with water, based on the sizes given in the Q & A section. On seeing the poles I realised that they looked thicker than suggested, either that or the specs’ have changed recently. Anyway, I got out my trusty micrometer and I can safely say that the top pole is near as damn it 28mm and the bottom pole is 32mm in diameter. Luckily my base will take up to 32mm. Hope this review helps.
