Despite the delivery issues and receiving the wrong color, I am very pleased with the quality of the umbrella. If you don't raise it fully, it can give you a little more shade when the sun is high. Works perfect for my small patio and prevents the umbrella from hanging over on my neighbors side. The cover is not as thick as I wished it would be. I think it can last a few years if you store in the winter and when not in use lower the umbrella. Works with both half umbrella stand or full. I highly recommend if you have a small patio area. You will not be disappointed.
This Patio Umbrella is awesome. We love the lights and we love the size!
We love this umbrella for our patio. Easy to assemble.
This umbrella was purchased to replace a much more pricey 12 y/o commercial umbrella(Sunbrella fabric and heavy construction) that lasted nearly forever. So far so good with this one. It seems to be well made, and unlike some really cheap umbrellas, the fabric does work to shade the sun. Compared to the commercial umbrella the wood pole is nearly identical (very sturdy), the struts are a tad smaller so I will do my best to take this one down when the wind blows. The fabric is thinner than Sunbrella and only time will tell how it holds up and if it fades (Sunbrella does not fade, but it does wear out eventually). This seems much better a a couple of real bargain umbrellas I've bought in the past and those only lasted a couple seasons.
