| This umbrella is very badly made. The tilting mechanism is above the joint that holds the umbrella up and the slightest bit of wind makes it rock like crazy, so I know it is going to break itself before its first season. Even when the umbrella is not tilted, that joint wobbles like crazy. We tried a c-clamp and then a plumbing ring to keep it from wobbling and it helps, but it still is a shoddy product. The joint in the center of the pole is unstable as well. The umbrella looks OK but I would never recommend it. |
Love it!

| First, the umbrella I received did not have a nice little wood finial at the top like the one in the pro photo but I noticed that the amateur photo does not have the wood thing on top, like mine. That said, this is a very attractive umbrella and the price was great at 40-something bucks (including shipping). Just noticed in this week's Shop-Rite circular that they have some nice patio umbrellas for about 40 dollars too and more variety of colors. I like this one since it's nice looking and the quality is about what I expected. Would prefer olefin to polyester since it won't fade as quickly and has better mildew resistance but wasn't willing to pay extra for the fiber difference in this color - would definitely opt for olefin with any dark color like navy, maroon, hunter etc. |

| The umbrella has a wooden pole (like a broom handle) that was slightly cracked at the connection point when I received it. The metal piece that connects the two poles is pretty cheap and I expect it will have a lot of rust by the end of the summer. What holds the umbrella up is a pin. I wish I had kept the Target umbrella I originally bought prior to finding this one through Amazon. However, the shipping cost for the umbrella and stand make returning the items not worthwhile. I think you get what you pay for with this! It is fine for $30, but you'll probably have to replace it next summer. |
