Dark Blue faded to a light grey/blue in a single season even though the umbrella had been taken down and covered on days when it wasnt in use. The photo shows the difference in color between the inside and outside of the fabric. When closed the large umbrella covers the crank making it cumbersome to open. (Review is for a 10 ft. Patio Table Umbrella.)
Got it yesterday. It is naked in the box without any other packaging. Easy to set up and the material looks fine. Noticed the metal part is rusty already. Not sure if its a used one or cheap material.
The only problem is that the tilt feature tilts the umbrella with a corner going down, not a flat side. Very frustrating as it is to fit into a space in an apartment back yard and doesnt provide the shade very well that it should. If there is a way to change it let me know.
The only reason that I decided to order this umbrella was because the seller lists pole diameter is 1.5. This is the only 12 ft umbrella with a pole of 1.5 that I can find. But guess what?! The pole actually is still 1.9 when it arrived. We ended up keep it as it is too troublesome to return. We had to figure out another way to use it as it does not fit my patio table hole. Had to buy a bigger base as well. Anyways, not happy.
Pole assembly both pieces are meant too screw together but they dont screw the whole way. We needed a handyman to help and even using a pipe wrench, he couldnt do it either. He said the grooves were crossed.
So we are using it not completely together. Plus its an extra wide pole and does not fit into any of our umbrella stands.we are still looking for one. We do appreciate the size of the actual umbrella; its the pole itself that we have issues with since it is not the usual snap/together type of construction.
This is a nice umbrella. Easy assembly and crank is easy to use. The umbrella I was sent did not have a tilt feature unless it is hidden somewhere. That is why I gave it a three star rating. That was disappointing since as the sun travels across my deck it would provide more protection, a feature I specifically wanted.

Returned
The price is good and the product seems okay. We decided on a higher quality item. I think this item is okay for the price.
Very nice looking but marred by small rip in material
Overall good but damage to cloth detracts from overall impression
Not sun hardy.
The color has starting fading after just two (2) months of use.
Not sure if I got a used one

Will not fit a patio table
This has a bigger pole and did not fit my patio table or base should say that in description
Wrong description of pole diameter

The pole will not screw together completely.
