I absolutely love this umbrella! I have bought 2 of the 7.5 ft and one 10 ft. They are sturdy, easy to assemble, and put off a surprising amount of light. I love that it also has an on/off switch too. I got the blue and the color is beautiful! The tilt feature is also a plus!
Bought the red one and it faded in less than two months and has holes in it. I'm not sure if that was from the sun drying out or birds picking at it. Either way it didn't even last one summer season here in the Arizona sun
The lights provide a quiet glow to evenings on the deck. The sturdiness of the pole and the stand makes removing the umbrella from the stand and storing it unnecessary. I really like my solar umbrellas. The two of them shade the whole small deck during the day and provide soft lighting for the deck at night.
Improvements noticed. High wind wiped out last one. My fault not anyone else. Lights, solar panel, fabric all good. Improved pole upgrade helps us forgetful's. Fast delivery too.
