Read All International Caravan Balau Hardwood 9.8-foot 8-ribbed Push-up Umbrella with Pulley System Reviews

This is a well-made umbrella with a beautiful rich red color. The umbrella is easy to raise up and down with the pulley system. High recommend. The price was great, shipping was fast!

The material ended up ripping, so umbrella no good.

Wrong product shipped; very inconvenient

Buy a very sturdy umbrella stand, because this is very heavy and will not work with a cheap umbrella stand. Looks great and is very nice.

I could not find a wooden umbrella with rope/pulley system locally, so I bought it at Great Offer Stock.com. * Sturdy wooden frame and fabric. * Smooth double-pulley system that halves the required force (refer to your high school physics class!). * Wide 9.8" span provides extra shade. * Elegant appearance. I have had the umbrella for only about a month but I see it standing on my deck for years ...

The umbrella fell apart after a couple years but the stand is very sturdy. I threw the fabric away and ordered another one from ****. I suspect the stand will last years - even if the fabric doesn't.

I am writing this review 3 years after purchase while looking for a new umbrella. Initially, I loved it. Great quality and a beautiful burgundy color. However, shortly after having it out in the sun, the color faded so much it was unrecognizable from it's original appearance. We kept it until it broke, because I wasn't about to just throw it out. Too wasteful. It didn't break until recently though. Not worth the money.

Best patio umbrella by far and I have had several over the years! Solid construction, looks great and pulley system is superior to crank type umbrellas. Eight ribs provides more stability than typical 6 ribs. Highly recommend this product.

We had to replace an umbrella we had for years. This seemed to be the same but a bit larger - which was OK. So far we like this purchase. It is lighter than the umbrella we replaced so we have to be sure to batten it down when the wind kicks up. The fabric is sturdier than others we looked at - but not canvas ( as was our old umbrella). The delivery was quick and assembly was easy. So far - so good.

The 2nd time I went to use this umbrella, one of the ribs snapped at junction leaving me with a jagged end and no room to attempt a repair. It did not snap from wind, just from pulling on the pulley to raise it. For the price I would have expected to have it last at least all summer. I am very disappointed in this product.

fast shipping, good price. Love me some overstock!

we really enjoy our new umbrella, we like the size and the pulley system.

Quality of this product is not good. Price is good, but not worth the $** return shipping you are forced to pay to send it back after it cracks in only a week or so. I am sorely disappointed. Not a good deal at all in my opinion.

The size is great. The color is actual and very rich. I like how sturdy this product is and better than what you can get at your local stores.

I bought 2 of these larger scale umbrellas and they are working out well. The hardware - pulley & rope are good quality and easy to use. The umbrella is lighter weight than my last one, but it does not adversely affect performance. I would buy again. Wish it had a tilt feature!

Delivery was prompt, and was only 35 pounds, so I was able to drag it into the house and place it in my living room with little effort (I'm 58 years old). I was thrilled when I rolled it out! The colors are rich, without being overbearing (which I was concerned about because of the busy pattern. It is soft and feels so good on my bare feet. I have dark brown leather sofa and chair, with dark red drapes, so I wanted "pop" on the floor, and it is a perfect balance to the solid colors. My little dogs love it, too, and are always laying on it. You will not be disappointed in this rug!

I have had great success with Great Offer Stock products over the years. The quality is always good and you can't beat the shipping charges. I will definitely continue to shop at Great Offer Stock.

Great umbrella. We have tried a few different types of patio umbrella with little success. The metal poles with the crank and tilt mechanism fail rather quickly. The offset umbrellas need to be bolted to the deck and the crank mechanism fails. We never used the tilt function on our last umbrella until the wind snapped it and it was in permanent tilt. This umbrella is wood with a thick column and ribs. So far I love the pull up cord with the locking pin. It fit into our existing base and with its large size it blocks a lot of sun from our west facing bay window.

Wonderful size, color and construction. The vent at the top prevents 'fly away' umbrella. Highly recommend There are plastic 'ribs' at top so we'll see how it holds up over the season

I received this umbrella 3 days after ordering and that was with the $2.95 shipping option. Umbrella is simple in design and use. It's mostly wood and brass plated metal, with the very top pieces made of plastic - looks like heavy duty plastic. I would recommend this to anyone in search of an inexpensive, quality umbrella.
