This is a follow up of my original review. Ordered the 10 ft square turquoise umbrella and 34 x 34 base that was supposed to go with it. The base actually measured 32x32 so it did not fit. sent out another which sadly had the same problem, sleeve for umbrella wouldnt fit! Took awhile but both bases were returned and I received appropriate credit. I even considered sending back the umbrella due to frustration but decided to keep it even though we had yet to open it and see what it looked like. Very glad I did, its beautiful, works perfectly to add shade over my spa and seating area. Easy to operate, 360 degree coverage and has an easy to put on cover. We installed the umbrella directly into our slab and its perfect. I dont know what to say about the bases which I was NOT happy with however the umbrella is exactly what I wanted. reached out to me to offer a credit for my trouble and were extremely apologetic. You should note that this is a very heavy item that really needs two able people to install. Five stars for my umbrella!
Its a bit expensive but worth it compared to the cheapo umbrellas. I noticed the shock absorbing tips and thought wow what a great idea to save wear and tear on the fabric. I bought the 32 base and filled 1 side with sand which was tedious so i filled the other side with water but the heat from the sun was heating up the water and causing that side to expand so i loosened the plug just a bit to let the pressure out and problem solved. Its a heavy base so dont plan on moving it often. Lucky for me i had a Jet brand mobile base (typically used for a table saw), its all metal and adjusted to exactly 32, i cut a 32 piece of 3/4 plywood put it in the mobile base, put the umbrella base on top of that and it is perfect. The wheels lock when i want it to stay place, makes it very easy to move when i need it to.
Great product and aluminum finish is great looking. Didnt expect it to have a wooden finish. Just wish it came with lights on rims and center.
I also used an inground anchor sold by . Used paver base, and soil to weight down / keeps umbrella really sturdy.
I LOVE this umbrella. We purchased this to cover the hot tub on our back deck, and I can safely say, it was our best purchase in a very long time. Easy to install, sturdily built and easy on the eye. It provided all the shade we needed and more and, despite being so big, is easy to open and move into position.
The manufacturer also provided incredible customer service rectifying some minor damage that occurred during shipping that was beyond their control.
Cannot recommend more highly.
Assembly was easy. Having two people help is best, but one person would be able to assemble. We tried to use play sand to fill the base but it was extremely difficult. The sand did not flow easily into the funnel which we wanted use to fill the base (flexible plastic funnel included). If sand has a little moisture from being stored outside (like most big box stores, they use outside to store the sand) then it will be hard to pour. We ended up filling our base with water and so far, so good. When its windy, it does have a lot of(give) movement, the umbrella is built to be able to withstand windy conditions (but not extreme wind). We purchased the terra color and its true to the pictures, close to the color of bricks. We love the look and the coverage of the umbrella and highly recommend this product. Its sturdy, safe and attractive.
Moderately easy for one person to assemble but Im a pretty big guy. Seemed like it would be very easy for 2 people. Used for about 6 months now and very pleased with quality, sturdiness, ease of operation and shade coverage. All of our friends remark on how great it shades our patio table. Havent left it open in high winds but with the base filled with water I dont think it would tip over. Assuming the crank mechanisms last I would highly recommend this item with the base.
This is the second purchase for the similar product of . This time I gave to my son for his birthday present. The umbrella is much better than the one I bought two years ago. It is stronger and the design is much better both in the rib structure and the fabric display. Only complaint was the base. I chose the most expensive one. Thought it would be the same as mine, while it is heavy and looks extremely sturdy and able to withstand the strong wind, the base is not movable. That is a disappointment.
Hi
The umbrella arrived damaged you can see from the pictures that one of the arm is defective and the fabric is not stretched like the others.
It is big deal for me
I will need to send it back or get a better price

Great product, inground anchor weight works very well.
