Sunnyglade 10x13Ft Cantilever Patio Umbrella Rectangular Deluxe Offset Umbrella 360°Rotation & Integrated Tilting System Patio Hanging Umbrella for Market Garden Deck Pool Backyard Patio(Grey)

I like the size, it was easy to put together. Mainly it was just the base as I remember and then some bolts to secure the umbrella to the stand. I only needed help lifting the umbrella and slipping it on the base. I'm a woman putting this together. This was purchased as a 2nd umbrella to provide more privacy from the other side of our patio. Everything seems to be aluminum including the handle which I wanted. I heard on other brands that the plastic handles and cranks don't last long. It would have been great if the base were included and didnt need to be purchased separately. I ordered the base from the same company. I can remove the fillable sections if I wish to move the umbrella. I filled the base with water. It gives more stability with water than using sand. Plus sand would be an additional cost and messy. And, sand does not offer the same weight compared to water in weighing the base down. It NEEDS something sturdy to hold the umbrella from falling forward and in place. If you attempt to put the umbrella up without a filled base it will turn over. For the price point this works well so far. It moves smoothly right and left and will turn all the way around using the foot pedal. We purchased another high end one from Costco that also is able to tilt right to left In addition, as this one does not. But I knew that before I purchased and our other one has unlimited up and down settings, unlike this one. We didn't want to spend too much for the secondary umbrella. It compares in being quiet and doesn't make any noise with any wind. It moves very little. I always put our umbrellas down at night or if the weather is not ideal. I plan to bring the umbrellas in over the winter to preserve them. If I had to do it over I might have purchased a generic fillable base because I could have saved almost 50% on the base I found after the purchase, and it would have held more water. But it would have been more bulky to step over. This umbrella seemed to have very good value for the money. I have no regrets on purchasing this cantilever umbrella. I saved a little money purchasing the red one. It goes well with our denim blue looking patio sectional and our other light silvery grey cantilever umbrella set. If your looking for one this is good quality for the price. You might want to give this one a try. I would definitely purchase this again without hesitation. Especially at the price I paid. I've been using this everyday since I got it. Very, very happy with it. If I had found this one first I would have been happy buying 2 of these to serve my purposes. Love it!

Love this umbrella. Once you get used to how it works, you'll find it's super flexible for different angles and positions. It is sturdy yet bends in the wind to avoid breaking. I mistakenly left it wide open when a strong wind storm hit. Even though the wind blew it out if the base and onto the ground, hitting the pergola on the way down, there was no damage to the arms or fabric because of the way the arms bent with the wind and fall. Fantastic product engineering. Genius design for moving up, down, spreading out, as well as securing in the base. It covers a pretty wide area when up full. I invested in several cans of Scotchgard to waterproof it - you'll need six+ 42 ounce cans to cover it well; I just did the top, not the underside. Good enough I think. It's easy to assemble, although the directions are pretty lacking; typical for these kinds of products. If you are used to assembling this kind of stuff and use common sense, you'll have it together in under 1/2 hour. You'll need two people when it comes to inserting the main pole into the base; it's heavy and needs to be guided in, so one person lifts and the other guides. The rest can be done by one person. I'm also adding a shout out to their customer service. When it arrived it was missing the base piece that holds the center pole. I was pretty miffed as I had already taken everything out of the box and did not want to send it back. I went through Amazon vendor contact, explained, sent pictures and asked that they send me the missing piece. They are in China. They sent another complete umbrella that arrived a few days later, no charge (!). Now I have a 100% backup if anything breaks, and if not, a total 2nd umbrella free. Not bad! Can't beat it for the price (plus base and Scotchgard). If you're hesitating, don't - great product. And be sure to buy the base, which you simply fill up with water for the weight, which is enough to secure it unless you leave it open in high winds like I did. Don't skimp on the base - oher umbrella bases will not work.

Pros: - Easy to assemble, but you would benefit from having a second person for the last few steps - Covers a large area which is exactly what I needed - Built in swivel feature is great for turning the umbrella as the sun moves Cons: - As like others, mine showed up with tears in the fabric which was incredibly annoying - It’s very susceptible to the slightest breeze. I thought being as heavy as it is, it would stand up to wind a bit better, but any little breeze has it all over the place. - To the point above, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A PROPER BASE. This umbrella is extremely heavy, but WILL take off on you if not adequately secured leaving you at risk of injury or property damage. Don’t say you weren’t warned.

I wasn't sure this would be a good choice but after putting the umbrella together, I was very happy with the purchase. Assembly was easy. The umbrella is very sturdy. It was easy to pick up 4 16"x16" dark gray stepping stones at Home Depot plus two more 12x12's for added weight. They hold the unit in place firmly, even in a decent breeze. The look is perfectly fine. Operation is super smooth. The handle that adjusts tilt of the entire umbrella has a number of settings and slides easily. The crank feel solid and the built in ties seem to keep it secure. No issues at all as Hurricane Henri passed off shore NJ. We went with an aqua color. It's definitely aqua and not light blue. Sometimes determining the real color is tough online. The fabric is heavy and it looks really good. 4 years ago I paid almost $900 at Sams Club for an umbrella like this but with a built in sand filled base. It was ok... but the operation was not as good as this umbrella. Never again. I'd buy this umbrella again in a heartbeat. As long as you are ok with the paver stone base.. as far as looks go, this is a great choice.
