| Cheap Umbrella, Cheap Performance | |
| I purchased this umbrella for my deck in the Northeast, as a replacement for a much more expensive one that had lasted 5 or 6 years but had developed a few holes and wear.
I've had this one for a year, and it's now heading for the trash. As described, it arrived in two pieces and was never straight. (The same problem others have described.) It simply never looked like it was sturdy, and within a couple of months one of the umbrella ribs was broken. Now, in a mild wind, the umbrella snapped into two pieces right around the area where they were screwed together. I expect items, even ones that are reasonably cheap like this umbrella, to go together well and be reasonably sturdy. I made a mistake with this product. I would definitely advise against buying this unless you need a cheap umbrella that will last one season, and you don't mind something that looks pretty cheap. | |
| THIS IS A CROOKED DEAL | |
| Both umbrella and stand seemed to be well made but when I mated them the umbrella was crooked. Apparently the umbrella pole was the problem. This item was too large to bother returning so I kept the item and am not a very happy camper. DON'T BUY THIS FROM AMAZON EVEN IF IT IS ON SALE. Buy something like this from a local merchant so if there is a problem you can make an easy return. | |
| Base support broken | |
| In windy city chicago, My umbrella was fallen only one time because of heavy wind. Please make sure you use table for that |
