I purchased the light blue umbrella with lights and it's wonderful!! It took about 90 seconds to pull out the solar light tab, put it in the table and umbrella base, open the umbrella and enjoy!
The lights are bright enough to eat at night, but not so bright that they are annoying. The lights are easy to turn on and off. The ONLY reason I gave less than 5 stars is that one line of lights is not working.
Otherwise, this is a great umbrella!!
Oh, and you will need a tall person to tilt the umbrella. At 5', I am too short to tilt it.
The umbrella lights don't work. I thought maybe there was a pin or a seal but I cannot get the lights to charge/work. The umbrella is very sturdy and I still enjoy it without the lights.
We Absolutely love this umbrella! The lights let off just the perfect amount of glow for evenings on the patio. I am so glad we went with the 10ft b/c it provides the perfect amount of shade over our 6 person patio table. Highly recommend.
